Which of the following coordination compounds would exhibit optical isomerism?

  1. Pentaamminenitrocobalt (III) iodide
  2. Diamminedichloroplatinum (II)
  3. trans-Dicyanobis (ethylenediamine) chromium (III) chloride
  4. tris-(Ethylenediamine) cobalt (III) bromide.

Answer

(4) tris-(Ethylenediamine) cobalt (III) bromide.

Solution

A complex shows optical isomerism only when it is chiral, i.e. it has no plane (or centre) of symmetry.

(1) [Co(NH3)5(NO2)]I2, octahedral [MA5B] type: has planes of symmetry, not optically active.

(2) [Pt(NH3)2Cl2] is square planar; the molecular plane is a plane of symmetry, so no optical isomer.

(3) trans-[Cr(CN)2(en)2]Cl: the trans form has a plane of symmetry, so it is optically inactive (only the cis form is chiral).

(4) As per NCERT, [Co(en)3]3+ with three bidentate en ligands is chiral and exists as d and l enantiomers.

Answer: (4)

CN- is a strong field ligand. This is due to the fact that

  1. it carries negative charge
  2. it is a pseudohalide
  3. it can accept electrons from metal species
  4. it forms high spin complexes with metal species.
