Definition of a homoleptic complex
A homoleptic complex is a coordination compound in which the central metal ion is bonded to only one kind of ligand.
If more than one type of ligand is present, the complex is heteroleptic.
-
Check each option
Option A:
- Ligands present: and
- Two different kinds of ligands are present.
- So, this is heteroleptic.
Option B:
- Ligands present: and
- Two different kinds of ligands are present.
- So, this is heteroleptic.
Option C:
- Ligands present: and
- Two different kinds of ligands are present.
- So, this is heteroleptic.
Option D:
- Ligands present: only
- Only one kind of ligand is present.
- So, this is homoleptic.
-
Conclusion
The homoleptic complex is:
Hence, the correct option is D.
