(a) Define didendate ligand. Give an example. 1 + 1 (b) Indicate the type of isomerism exhibited by the given complex: [ Pt ( NH_3)( H_2 O ) Cl_2]
(a)
Define didendate ligand. Give an example. $\displaystyle 1$ + $\displaystyle 1$
(b)
Indicate the type of isomerism exhibited by the given complex : $\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right) \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]$
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
When the ligand binds through two donor atoms, the ligand is said to be
didendate.
Example : C2O42−
(b)
Geometrical isomerism
