JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 1 — Question 66

Which of the following complex is homoleptic?

  1. Option A:

    [Ni(CN)4]2−\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    [Ni(NH3)2Cl2]\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]

  3. Option C:

    [Fe(NH3)4Cl2]+\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}

  4. Option D:

    [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

In Homoleptic complex all the ligand attached with the central atom should be the same. Hence [Ni(CN)4]2−\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}

is a homoleptic complex.
