Number of possible isomers for the complex [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl will be (en = ethylenediamine)

  1. 1
  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. 2

Answer

(2) 3

Solution

[Co(en)2Cl2]+ is an octahedral complex of type [M(AA)2B2].

It shows geometrical isomerism: cis and trans forms.

∵ The trans isomer has a plane of symmetry, it is optically inactive.

∵ The cis isomer has no plane of symmetry, it exists as a pair of enantiomers (d and l).

As per NCERT, [CoCl2(en)2]+ gives trans + two optically active cis forms.

∴ Total isomers = 1 + 2 = 3
