Step-by-Step Solution

The given complex [Pt(Py)(NH3)BrCl][\text{Pt}(\text{Py})(\text{NH}_3)\text{BrCl}] is a square planar complex of the type [Mabcd][Mabcd] (or MABXLMABXL), where all four ligands are different unidentate ligands. According to coordination chemistry principles, such a complex exhibits three geometrical isomers (two cis and one trans). These can be determined by fixing one ligand at a specific position and placing the other three ligands trans to it one by one .
