The complex, [Pt(Py)(NH3)BrCl] will have how many geometrical isomers?

  1. 3
  2. 4
  3. 0
  4. 2

Answer

(1) 3

Solution

Pt2+ (5d8) forms a square planar complex; here all four ligands (Py, NH3, Br-, Cl-) are different, i.e. type [Mabcd].

As per NCERT, a square planar complex of the type [Mabcd] shows three geometrical isomers.

Fixing Py, the ligand trans to it can be NH3, Br- or Cl-

Number of geometrical isomers = 3
