How many isom...

Question

How many isomers are possible for the complex,
$P t (N H_{3})_{2} (S C N)_{2}$ ?

Open in App

Solution

SCN is an ambidentate ligand and can bind in 2 ways:
$P t (N H_{3})_{2} (S C N)_{2}$ - cis and trans isomer
$P t (N H_{3})_{2} (N C S)_{2}$ - cis and trans isomer
$P t (N H_{3})_{2} (N C S) (S C N)$ - cis and trans isomer
The complex is square planar so it does not have a pair of enatiomers because of the presence of a plane of symmetry.
