Identify homoleptic complex from following.
Options
- ABis(ethylenediamine)dithiocyanatoplatinum(IV)
- BTetraamminecopper(II) ion
- CTriamminetrinitrocobalt(III)
- DTriamminetrithiocyanatorhodium(III)
Correct answer
B. Tetraamminecopper(II) ion
Step-by-step solution
A homoleptic complex is a coordination compound in which the central metal atom or ion is bonded to only one type of ligand. Bis(ethylenediamine)dithiocyanatoplatinum(IV) contains two types of ligands: ethylenediamine and thiocyanate. It is a heteroleptic complex. Tetraamminecopper(II) ion contains only one type of ligand: ammine ( NH₃ ). It is a homoleptic complex. Triamminetrinitrocobalt(III) contains two types of ligands: ammine and nitro. It is a heteroleptic complex. Triamminetrithiocyanatorhodium(III) contain
