Q.

Homoleptic complex from the following complexes is:

  1. A

    Diamminechloridonitrito-N-platinum (II)

  2. B

    Pentaamminecarbonatocobalt (III) chloride

  3. C

    Triamminetriaquachromium (III) chloride

  4. D

    Potassium trioxalatoaluminate (III)

Solution

A homoleptic complex has only one type of ligand bound to the metal centre.

has three identical oxalate ligands on Al — homoleptic.

The other three complexes each contain a mixture of ligand types (NH + Cl + NO, etc.), so they are heteroleptic.
