Strategy:
 Identify the oxidation state and apply ligand field theory to find unpaired electrons and magnetic properties.

Step 1: Analyze 
- Metal: , which has a  configuration.
-  is a strong field ligand. The  electrons are excited/forced into the  orbital to yield a full  configuration.
- Since all electrons are paired, the complex is diamagnetic.

Step 2: Analyze 
- Metal: , which has a  configuration.
-  is a weak field ligand, forming a tetrahedral complex without forcing pairing.
