In which of the following complexes crystal field splitting energy does not exceed pairing energy
i) [PtCl4]2-ii) [AgF4]- iii) [Co(ox)3]3- iv) [CoF6]3-According to me option iii) has to be correct, since (ox) is a strong field ligand, stronger than Halogens. But the solution given to me says option iv) is correct. Please explain why.
