Which of the following complexes  is used to be as an anticancer  agent ?

  • mer=[Co(NH3)Cl3]

  • cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2]

  • cis-K2[PtCl2Br2]

  • Na2CoCl4

Solution

B.

cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2]

cis-platin is known as an anticancer agent. The formula for cis-platin is cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2]. Here, the word cis refers to a cis geometrical isomer of [PtCl2(NH3)2].
