Homoleptic complexes among the following are (A) K ₃ [ Al ( C ₂ O ₄ )₃ ] (B) [ CoCl ₂( en )₂ ]⁺ (C) K ₂ [ Zn ( OH )₄ ]
Options
- AA only
- BA and B only
- CA and C only
- DC only
Correct answer
C. A and C only
Step-by-step solution
In homoleptic complex, all the bounded ligands are identicals K ₃ [ Al ( C ₂ O ₄ )₃ ] and K ₂ [ Zn ( OH )₄ ] are homoleptic complex as they contain identical ligand i.e. ( C ₂ O ₄ ) and ( OH ) .
