JEE Main 2025 — 23 January, Evening Shift — Question 37

Identify the coordination complexes in which the central metal ion has d4\mathrm{d}^{4} configuration.

(A) [FeO4]2−\left[\mathrm{FeO}_{4}\right]^{2-}

(B) [Mn(CN)6]3−\left[\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{3-}

(C) [Fe(CN)6]3−\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{3-}

(D) (E) [NiF6]2−\left[\mathrm{NiF}_{6}\right]^{2-}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    (C) and (E) only

  2. Option B:

    (B), (C) and (D) only

  3. Option C:

    (B) and (D) only

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    (A), (B) and (E) only

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

Fe+6=[Ar]3 d2\quad \mathrm{Fe}^{+6}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{2}

Mn+3=[Ar]3 d4\mathrm{Mn}^{+3}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{4}

Fe+3=[Ar]3 d5\mathrm{Fe}^{+3}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{5}

Cr+2=[Ar]3 d4\mathrm{Cr}^{+2}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{4}

Ni+4=[Ar]3 d6\mathrm{Ni}^{+4}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{6}
