The number of geometric isomers that can exist for square planar `[Pt(Cl)(py) (NH_(3))(NH_(2))OH]^(+)` is (py = pyridine) :

A

2

B

3

C

4

D

6

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Three geometrical isomers are possible.

These are written by fixing the position of one ligand (say Cl) and placing the other ligands `(NH_(2)OH, NH_(3), py)` trans to it. Others structures will be identical.
