Amino Acids Are Important Chelating Ligands That Bind to the Metal

question 7

Multiple Choice

Amino acids are important chelating ligands that bind to the metal through N and O atoms. Suppose you prepared a square planar platinum complex using D amino acid [Pt(D-AA) ₂]. Do you expect a chiral complex?

• A) No, because square planar complexes can only have geometrical isomers.
• B) Yes, because the amino acid is chiral.
• C) No, because the chirality of one amino acid cancels the chirality of the second amino acid.
