Example: $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$.
Heteroleptic complexes: These are coordination complexes in which the metal atom or ion is bonded to more than one type of donor group (ligand).
Example: $[Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^+$.
Example: $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$.
Heteroleptic complexes: These are coordination complexes in which the metal atom or ion is bonded to more than one type of donor group (ligand).
