Answer:
Correct Answer: 3. (c)
Solution:
- The maximum possible denticities of given ligand towards a common transition and inner transition metal ion, are 6 and 8 respectively.
The given ligand act as hexadentate ligand in transition metal ion because the common oxidation state shown by them is +3 . Whereas in case of inner transition metal ion, its denticity is 8 because their common oxidation state is +4 .
