Chemistry Question on coordination compounds

Which of the following is an example of homoleptic complex?

A

[Co(NH3)6]Cl3{[Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3}

B

[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]{[Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2]}

C

[Co(NH3)4Cl2]{[Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]}

D

[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2{[Co(NH_3)_5Cl]Cl_2}

Answer

[Co(NH3)6]Cl3{[Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3}

Explanation

Solution

Homoleptic complexes are coordination compounds in which only one type of ligand is coordinated to the central metal ion.

So, the correct option is (A): [Co(NH3)6]Cl3{[Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3}
