Practicing Success
Out of the following complex ions, identify heteroleptic complexes: A. [Co(NH3)5(CO3)]+ B. [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ C. [Co(NH3)6]3+ D. [CoCl2(en)2]+ E. [Co(en)3]+ Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
C, E only A, B, D only D, E only A, B, C only |
A, B, D only |
[Co(NH3)5(CO3)]+ , [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ , [CoCl2(en)2]+ are heteroleptic complexes as the ligands which are attached to central metal atom are different. [Co(NH3)6]3+ ,[Co(en)3]+ are homoleptic complexes as the ligands which are attached to central metal atom are same. |
