Therefore, a simple rule of thumb is used in chemistry to determine whether a particle (atom, ion, or molecule) is paramagnetic or diamagnetic: [3] if all electrons in the particle are paired, then the substance made of this particle is diamagnetic; if it has unpaired electrons, then the substance is paramagnetic.
With one unpaired electron μ eff values range from 1.8 to 2.5 μ B and with two unpaired electrons the range is 3.18 to 3.3 μ B. Note that low-spin complexes of Fe 2+ and Co 3+ are diamagnetic. Another group of complexes that are diamagnetic are square-planar complexes of d 8 ions such as Ni 2+ and Rh + and Au 3+.
In magnetism, Pascals’ constants are numbers used in the evaluation of the magnetic susceptibilities of coordination compounds.The magnetic susceptibility of a compound is the sum of the paramagnetic susceptibility associated with the unpaired electrons and the opposing diamagnetic susceptibility associated with electron pairs.

In chemistry, an unpaired electron is an electron that occupies an orbital of an atom singly, rather than as part of an electron pair. Each atomic orbital of an atom (specified by the three quantum numbers n, l and m) has a capacity to contain two electrons ( electron pair ) with opposite spins .
Another property we can observe by examining molecular orbital diagrams is the magnetic property of diamagnetic or paramagnetic. If all the electrons are paired, there is a slight repulsion and it is classified as diamagnetic. If unpaired electrons are present, it is attracted to a magnetic field, and therefore paramagnetic.
The difference between the chemical shift of a given nucleus in a diamagnetic vs. a paramagnetic environment is called the hyperfine shift.In solution the isotropic hyperfine chemical shift for nickelocene is −255 ppm, which is the difference between the observed shift (ca. −260 ppm) and the shift observed for a diamagnetic analogue ferrocene (ca. 5 ppm).
Low-spin [Fe(NO 2) 6] 3− crystal field diagram. The Δ splitting of the d orbitals plays an important role in the electron spin state of a coordination complex. Three factors affect Δ: the period (row in periodic table) of the metal ion, the charge of the metal ion, and the field strength of the complex's ligands as described by the spectrochemical series.
The ability of positronium to form both singlet and triplet states is described mathematically by saying that the product of two doublet representations (meaning the electron and positron, which are both spin-1/2 doublets) can be decomposed into the sum of an adjoint representation (the triplet or spin 1 state) and a trivial representation (the ...
