Which ligand is capable of forming low spin as well as high spin complexes?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}

The correct answer is D (

\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}

). Ammonia is a borderline ligand and can form both low-spin and high-spin complexes depending on the metal ion and the geometry.
