Correct answer: 6

  1. Identify the complex ion

The compound is [Pt(NH3)4Cl2]Br2[Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Br_2[Pt(NH3​)4​Cl2​]Br2​ So the coordination entity is [Pt(NH3)4Cl2]2+[Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^{2+}[Pt(NH3​)4​Cl2​]2+ and Br−Br^-Br− ions are outside the coordination sphere.

  1. Oxidation state and geometry of Pt

Let oxidation state of Pt be xxx. Since NH3NH_3NH3​ is neutral and Cl−Cl^-Cl− contributes −2-2−2 inside the bracket, x−2=+2x-2=+2x−2=+2 x=+4x=+4x=+4 Thus metal is Pt4+Pt^{4+}Pt4+.

For coordination number 666, platinum(IV) complexes are generally octahedral. So we need isomers of an octahedral complex of type [MA4B2][MA_4B_2][MA4​B2​] with A=NH3,B=Cl−A=NH_3, \quad B=Cl^-A=NH3​,B=Cl−

  1. Geometrical isomerism of [MA4B2][MA_4B_2][MA4​B2​]

An octahedral complex of type [MA4B2][MA_4B_2][MA4​B2​] shows 2 geometrical isomers:

  • cis
  • trans

So within the coordination sphere, there are 2 isomers.

  1. Check for optical isomerism

For octahedral [MA4B2][MA_4B_2][MA4​B2​], neither cis nor trans form is optically active. So optical isomers = 0 extra.

Hence, stereoisomers of the coordination entity = 2.

  1. Ionisation isomerism?

Ionisation isomerism occurs when a ligand inside the coordination sphere can exchange with the counter ion outside.

Here, inside we have Cl−Cl^-Cl− and outside we have Br−Br^-Br−. Therefore possible ionisation isomers are:

  • [Pt(NH3)4Cl2]Br2[Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Br_2[Pt(NH3​)4​Cl2​]Br2​
  • [Pt(NH3)4ClBr]ClBr[Pt(NH_3)_4ClBr]ClBr[Pt(NH3​)4​ClBr]ClBr
  • [Pt(NH3)4Br2]Cl2[Pt(NH_3)_4Br_2]Cl_2[Pt(NH3​)4​Br2​]Cl2​

These are three different ionisation forms.

  1. Count geometrical isomers for each ionisation form

(i) [Pt(NH3)4Cl2]Br2[Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Br_2[Pt(NH3​)4​Cl2​]Br2​

Coordination sphere type: [MA4B2][MA_4B_2][MA4​B2​]

Geometrical isomers = 222 (cis, trans)

(ii) [Pt(NH3)4ClBr]ClBr[Pt(NH_3)_4ClBr]ClBr[Pt(NH3​)4​ClBr]ClBr

Coordination sphere type: [MA4BC][MA_4BC][MA4​BC]

For octahedral [MA4BC][MA_4BC][MA4​BC], there are also 222 geometrical isomers:

  • BBB and CCC cis
  • BBB and CCC trans

So geometrical isomers = 222

(iii) [Pt(NH3)4Br2]Cl2[Pt(NH_3)_4Br_2]Cl_2[Pt(NH3​)4​Br2​]Cl2​

Coordination sphere type: [MA4B2][MA_4B_2][MA4​B2​]

Again geometrical isomers = 222 (cis, trans)

  1. Total isomers

Therefore total possible isomers =2+2+2=6=2+2+2=6=2+2+2=6

  1. Final answer

The total number of possible isomers is 6\boxed{6}6​

This matches the stored correct answer.
