What are homoleptic and heteroleptic complexes ? Give one example for each.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Complexes in which a metal is bound to only one kind of ligands are called homoleptic complexes. Ex : `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)`
Complexes in which a metal is bound to more kind of ligands are called heteroleptic complex. `[Co(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]^(+)`
