Number of stereoisomers possible for the complexes, [CrCl3(py)3] and [CrCl2(ox)2]3- are respectively (py = pyridine, ox = oxalate)

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

Answer

(2) 2 & 3

Solution

[CrCl3(py)3] is of the type [MA3B3]: it shows fac and mer geometrical isomers. Both have a plane of symmetry, so neither is optically active.

2 stereoisomers

[CrCl2(ox)2]3- is of the type [M(AA)2B2] (like [CoCl2(en)2]+ in NCERT): trans form is optically inactive; cis form is chiral and exists as a pair of enantiomers (d and l).

1 (trans) + 2 (cis-d, cis-l) = 3 stereoisomers

Answer: (2)
