MCQ
Which of the following complexes are heteroleptic?
  • A
    [Cr(NH3)6]3+
  • B
    [Fe(NH3)4Cl2]+
  • C
    [Mn(CN)6]4-
  • D
    [Co(NH3)4Cl2]

Answer

  1. [Fe(NH3)4Cl2]+
  1. [Co(NH3)4Cl2]

Explanation:

Complexes in which a metal is bound to more than one kind of donor groups are known as heteroleptic. This condition is satisfied by complexes mentioned at (ii) & (iv) where the donor groups are NH3 & Cl2. Therefore, complexes at (ii) & (iv) are heteroleptic.
