A heteroleptic complex contains more than one type of ligand.

1. Cis-platin: $[Pt(N{H}_3{)}_{2}C{l}_2]$ has two different ligands ($N{H}_3$ and $C{l}^{-}$).

2. Brown ring complex: $[Fe(H_{2}O{)}_{5}NO{]}^{2+}$ has two different ligands ($H_{2}O$ and $NO$).

3. Zeise's salt: $[PtC{l}_3({\eta }^2-C_2{H}_4){]}^{-}$ has two different ligands ($C{l}^{-}$ and $C_2{H}_4$).

All listed complexes are heteroleptic.
