Which of the following complex is homoleptic?
(1) $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}$
(2) $\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}{3}\right){2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]$
(3) $\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NH}{3}\right){4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}$
(4) $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}{3}\right){4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}$

Answer (1)
Solution
In Homoleptic complex all the ligand attached with the central atom should be the same. Hence $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}$ is a homoleptic complex.
