(a) Square planar complexes with coordination number four exhibit geometrical isomerism whereas tetrahedral complexes do not , why ?
(b) Three geometrical isomers of the square planar complex `[Pt(NH_(3))(H_(2)O)(py)(NO_(2))]^(+)` are possible . What are they ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Tetrahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism because the relative positions of the ligands attached to the central metal atom are same with respect to each other .
(b)
