The complex which has facial and meridional isomers is
(Given : py = pyridine and en = H2_2N−-CH2−_2-CH2−_2-NH2_2)

Options

  1. A[Ni(en)2(H2O)2]2+[\text{Ni(en)}_2(\text{H}_2\text{O})_2]^{2+}
  2. B[Cr(py)3(Cl)3][\text{Cr(py)}_3(\text{Cl})_3]
  3. C[Cr(H2O)6]3+[\text{Cr(H}_2\text{O})_6]^{3+}
  4. D[Co(NH3)4(H2O)2]3+[\text{Co(NH}_3)_4(\text{H}_2\text{O})_2]^{3+}

Correct answer

B. [Cr(py)3(Cl)3][\text{Cr(py)}_3(\text{Cl})_3]

Step-by-step solution

Facial and meridional isomerism is exhibited by octahedral complexes of the type [MA3B3][MA_3B_3].

[Ni(en)2(H2O)2]2+[\text{Ni(en)}_2(\text{H}_2\text{O})_2]^{2+} is of the type [M(AA)2B2][M(AA)_2B_2], which shows cis and trans isomerism.

[Cr(py)3(Cl)3][\text{Cr(py)}_3(\text{Cl})_3] is of the type [MA3B3][MA_3B_3], which shows facial (fac) and meridional (mer) isomerism.

[Cr(H2O)6]3+[\text{Cr(H}_2\text{O})_6]^{3+} is of the type [MA6][MA_6], which does not show geometrical isomerism.

[Co(NH3)4(H2O)2]3+[\text{Co(NH}_3)_4(\text{H}_2\text{O})_2]^{3+} is of the type [MA4B2][MA_4B_2], which shows cis and trans isomerism.

Answer: [Cr(py)3(Cl)3][\text{Cr(py)}_3(\text{Cl})_3]
