Which of the following species exhibits both LMCT and paramagnetism?

  1. A \(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{2-}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CrO}_4^{2-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{2-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(\mathrm{MnO}_4{ }^{-2}\) ion exhibits colour due to charge transfer from \(\mathrm{O}^{2-}\) ion to \(\mathrm{Mn}^{+6}(\mathrm{LMCT})\) and also exhibits paramagnetism as it has \(3 \mathrm{~d}^4\) configuration (one unpaired electron)
