Q5 / 51 · JEE Advanced 2023 (Paper 2) · Chemistry

The complex(es), which can exhibit the type of isomerism shown by PtNH32Br2, is(are) en=H2NCH2CH2NH2

 

  • A
    Pt(en)(SCN)2
  • B
    ZnNH32Cl2
  • Correct answer
    C
    PtNH32Cl4
  • Correct answer
    D
    Cr(en)2H2OSO4+

Solution

PtNH32Cl2 is a square planar complex and it can exhibit geometrical isomerism. It has two isomers, cis-platin and trans-platin. The complexes ZnNH32Cl2 tetrahedral and Pt(en)(SCN)2 does not exhibit geometrical isomerism. The octahedral complex PtNH32Cl4 shows geometrical isomerism, it has two geometrical isomers cis and trans.

 Cr(en)2H2OSO4+ is an octahedral complex, it is of the type MAA2bc and it can exhibit the geometrical isomerism.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'C', 'D'.
