Question

Which of the following complexes has a square planar geometry.

A

$Ag\left( NH_{3} \right)_{2}^{+}$

B

$Cu(en)_{2}^{2 +}$

C

$\left\lbrack MnCl_{4} \right\rbrack^{2 -}$

D

$Ni(CO)_{4}$

Answer

$Cu(en)_{2}^{2 +}$

Explanation

Solution

Copper complexes usually involve co-ordination number of four and are thus square planar in shape.
