Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Options
A.Geometrical isomerism is not observed in complexes of coordination number 4 having tetrahedral geometry
B.Square planar complexes generally do not show geometrical isomerism
C.The square planar complex of general formulae Ma3b or Mab3 exhibits cis-trans isomerism
D.The platinum glycinato complex, [Pt(gly)2] does not show geometrical isomerism
Solution
(A) The tetrahedral compounds can not show geometrical isomerism as we all know that all four positions are equivalent in tetrahedral geometry.
(B) In a square planar complex of formula [Ma2b2] [a and b are unidentate], the two ligands ′a′ may be arranged adjacent to each other in a cis isomer, or opposite to each other in a trans isomer.
(C) Ma3b and Mab3 have only one form.
(D)
(B) In a square planar complex of formula [Ma2b2] [a and b are unidentate], the two ligands ′a′ may be arranged adjacent to each other in a cis isomer, or opposite to each other in a trans isomer.
(C) Ma3b and Mab3 have only one form.
(D)
