The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes has a square pyramidal geometry, we will analyze each complex step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Tetra Carbonyl Nickel (Ni(CO)4) - **Central Atom**: Nickel (Ni) - **Ligands**: 4 Carbonyl (CO) ligands - **Oxidation State**: 0 - **Electronic Configuration**: Ni in oxidation state 0 has the configuration 3d8 4s2. - **Hybridization**: For 4 ligands, the hybridization is sp³. - **Geometry**: The geometry corresponding to sp³ hybridization is tetrahedral. **Conclusion**: Tetra Carbonyl Nickel does not have square pyramidal geometry. ### Step 2: Analyze Hexa Amine Cobalt Nitrate ([Co(NH3)6]NO3) - **Central Atom**: Cobalt (Co) - **Ligands**: 6 Ammonia (NH3) ligands - **Oxidation State**: +2 (since the overall charge is +2 due to the nitrate) - **Electronic Configuration**: Co in +2 state has the configuration 3d7. - **Hybridization**: For 6 ligands, the hybridization is d²sp³. - **Geometry**: The geometry corresponding to d²sp³ hybridization is octahedral. **Conclusion**: Hexa Amine Cobalt Nitrate does not have square pyramidal geometry. ### Step 3: Analyze Penta Carbonyl Iron (Fe(CO)5) - **Central Atom**: Iron (Fe) - **Ligands**: 5 Carbonyl (CO) ligands - **Oxidation State**: 0 - **Electronic Configuration**: Fe in oxidation state 0 has the configuration 3d6 4s2. - **Hybridization**: For 5 ligands, the hybridization is dsp³. - **Geometry**: The geometry corresponding to dsp³ hybridization is trigonal bipyramidal. **Conclusion**: Penta Carbonyl Iron does not have square pyramidal geometry. ### Step 4: Analyze Bisacetyl Acetonato Oxo Vanadium (VO(acac)2) - **Central Atom**: Vanadium (V) - **Ligands**: 2 Bidentate acetyl acetonato ligands and 1 oxo (O) ligand - **Oxidation State**: +5 (since it is bonded to two bidentate ligands and one oxo) - **Hybridization**: The presence of 5 coordination sites leads to a hybridization of d²sp³. - **Geometry**: The geometry corresponding to d²sp³ hybridization is square pyramidal. **Conclusion**: Bisacetyl Acetonato Oxo Vanadium has square pyramidal geometry. ### Final Answer: The complex that has square pyramidal geometry is **Bisacetyl Acetonato Oxo Vanadium (VO(acac)2)**. ---

Square planar complexes are generally formed by d^(8) ions with strong field ligands. The crystal field splitting is larger for second and third row transition elements and for more highly charged species. All the complexes having 4d^(8)" and "5d^(8) configuration are mostly square including those with weak field ligands such halide ions. Square planar complexes with coordination number four can show diastereoisomerism. Amongst the following complexes which has square planar geometry ?
