Homoleptic complexes among the following are
(A) \(\mathrm{K}_3\left[\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)_3\right]\)
(B) \(\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_2(\mathrm{en})_2\right]^{+}\)
(C) \(\mathrm{K}_2\left[\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{OH})_4\right]\)
- A A only
- B A and B only
- C A and C only
- D C only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) A and C only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In homoleptic complex, all the bounded ligands are identicals
\(\therefore \mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)_{3}\right]\) and \(\mathrm{K}_{2}\left[\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}\right]\) are homoleptic complex as they contain identical ligand i.e. \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)\) and \((\mathrm{OH})\).
\(\therefore \mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)_{3}\right]\) and \(\mathrm{K}_{2}\left[\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}\right]\) are homoleptic complex as they contain identical ligand i.e. \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)\) and \((\mathrm{OH})\).
