Coordination Compounds 1 Question 9

####9. Which one of the following complexes shows optical isomerism?

(2016 Main )

(a) cis $[C o (e n)_{2} C l_{2}] C l$

(b) trans $[C o (e n)_{2} C l_{2}] C l$

(d) $[C o {(N H_{3})}_{3} C l_{3}]$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 9. (c)

Solution:

$[C o {(N H_{3})}_{4} C l_{2}] C l$ can exist in both cis and trans forms that are given below:

trans- $[C o {(N H_{3})}_{4} C l_{2}] C l$ (optically inactive)

cis- $[C o {(N H_{3})}_{4} C l_{2}] C l$ (optically inactive) $[C o {(N H_{3})}_{3} C l_{3}]$ exists in fac and mer-isomeric forms and both are optically inactive.

fac-isomer (optically inactive)

mer-isomer (optically inactive)
