Correct answer: 6
- Identify the complex ion
The compound is So the coordination entity is and ions are outside the coordination sphere.
- Oxidation state and geometry of Pt
Let oxidation state of Pt be . Since is neutral and contributes inside the bracket, Thus metal is .
For coordination number , platinum(IV) complexes are generally octahedral. So we need isomers of an octahedral complex of type with
- Geometrical isomerism of
An octahedral complex of type shows 2 geometrical isomers:
- cis
- trans
So within the coordination sphere, there are 2 isomers.
- Check for optical isomerism
For octahedral , neither cis nor trans form is optically active. So optical isomers = 0 extra.
Hence, stereoisomers of the coordination entity = 2.
- Ionisation isomerism?
Ionisation isomerism occurs when a ligand inside the coordination sphere can exchange with the counter ion outside.
Here, inside we have and outside we have . Therefore possible ionisation isomers are:
These are three different ionisation forms.
- Count geometrical isomers for each ionisation form
(i)
Coordination sphere type:
Geometrical isomers = (cis, trans)
(ii)
Coordination sphere type:
For octahedral , there are also geometrical isomers:
- and cis
- and trans
So geometrical isomers =
(iii)
Coordination sphere type:
Again geometrical isomers = (cis, trans)
- Total isomers
Therefore total possible isomers
- Final answer
The total number of possible isomers is
This matches the stored correct answer.
