A complex salt is defined as a compound composed of a central metal atom having coordination bonds with ligands around it. While, double salts are defined as the ionic compounds that are formed by the combination of two different salt compounds.  

Complex salt is K2[Pt(NH3)2Cl2].

Double salt is KAl(SO4)2·12H2O  (potash alum).
