Which from following coordinate complexes is a heteroleptic complex?

Options

  1. APentacarbonyliron(0)
  2. BTriamminetrinitrocobalt(III)
  3. CTetraamminecopper(II) ion
  4. DTetracyanonickelate(II) ion

Correct answer

B. Triamminetrinitrocobalt(III)

Step-by-step solution

In triamminetrinitrocobalt(III), i.e., [ Co ( NH ₃ )₃ ( NO ₂ )₃ ] , two different ligands are attached to the central metal ion. Therefore, it is heteroleptic complex.
