Vedclass · Answer

(D) The given complex is a square planar complex of the type $[Pt(AB)_2]$,where $AB$ represents an unsymmetrical bidentate ligand. Due to the presence of different substituents on the two ligands (one side has $C_6H_5$ groups,the other has $CH_3$ groups),the molecule lacks a plane of symmetry. Since the complex does not contain any element of symmetry,the configuration is asymmetric,and therefore,it is optically active.

Select the correct statement about the given square planar complex.
