Predicting Whether a Complex Has Optical Isomers
Does either \({cis}\text-\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}\) or \(trans \text{-}\mathrm {[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^-}\) have optical isomers?
Which of the following complexes has optical isomers?
(a) Tetrahedral \({\left[\mathrm{CdBr}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{2-}}\),
(b) Octahedral \({\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{4}(\mathrm{en})\right]^{2-}}\),
(c) Octahedral \({\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{2+}}\),
(d) Tetrahedral \({\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{BrClI}\right]^{-}}\).
