Problem 86 AE

When Alfred Werner was developing the field of coordination chemistry, it was argued by some that the optical activity he observed in the chiral complexes he had prepared was because of the presence of carbon atoms in the molecule. To disprove this argument. Werner synthesized a chiral complex of cobalt that had no carbon atoms in it. and he was able to resolve it into its enantiomers. Design a cobalt(lll) complex that would be chiral if it could be synthesized and that contains no carbon atoms. (It may not be possible to synthesize the complex you design, but we wi not worry about that for now.)
