Which of the following complex species is not expected to exhibit optical isomerism ?

A

`[Co (en)_(3)]^(3+)`

B

`[Co(en)_(2)Cl_(2)]^(+)`

C

`[Co(NH_(3))_(3)CL_(3)]`

D

`[Co(en)(NH_(3))Cl_(2)]^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Optical isomerism is exhibited by only those complexes which lacks elements of symmetry
`[Co(NH_(3))_(3)CL_(3)]` shows facial as well as meridional isomerism But both the forms contain plane of symmetry thus , this complex does not exhibit optical isomerism
