Given below are two statements: Statement I: is a homoleptic complex, whereas is a heteroleptic complex. Statement II: Complex has only one kind of ligand but has more than one kind of ligands. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are False.
Statement I is True but Statement II is False.
Statement I is false but Statement II is True.
Both Statement I and Statement II are True.
According to the nomenclature of coordination compounds, complexes in which a metal is bound to only one kind of donor group are known as homoleptic complexes (e.g., where only ligands are present). Complexes in which a metal is bound to more than one kind of donor group are known as heteroleptic complexes (e.g., where both and ligands are present). Since Statement II provides the correct reasoning that perfectly aligns with the definitions applied in Statement I, both statements are true.
