Which of the following coordination compounds would exhibit optical isomerism ?
Options
- APentaamminenitrocobalt (III) iodide
- BDiamminedichloroplatinum (II)
- CTrans-dicyanobis (ethylenediamine) chromium (III) chloride
- DTris-(ethylenediamine) cobalt (III) bromide
Correct answer
D. Tris-(ethylenediamine) cobalt (III) bromide
Step-by-step solution
M a 5 b + n → no orbital activity M a 2 b 2 + n → plane of symmetry trans- M AA 2 b 2 + n → plane of symmetry Enantiomers exist in M AA 3 + n
