Heteroleptic complex.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The complexes in which central metal atom or ion is attached to more than one kind of donor groups (ligands) are called heteroleptic complexes. E.g., `[Co(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]^(+)`. In this complex, `Co^(3+)` ion is attached to two kinds of ligands, namely four `NH_(3)` and two `Cl^(-)`

Geometrical isomerism arises in heteroleptic complexes due to different possible geometrical arrangement of the ligands. Important examples of this behaviour are found with coordination number 4 and 6. Such isomerism is not possible for a tetrahedral geometry but it is possible for square planar as well as octahedral complexes. Optical square planar as well as octahedral complexes. Optical square planar as well as octahedral complexes. Optical isomers are mirror images that cannot be superimposed on one another. These are called enantiomers. Optical isomerism is common in octahedral complexes involving bedentate ligands. For which of the following complexes, are optical isomers possible ?
