Square planar complexes with coordinatio...

Square planar complexes with coordination number of four exhibit geometrical isomerism whereas tetrahedral complexes do not. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Tetrahedral complexes do not geometrical isomerism because the relative positions of the ligands attached to the central metal atom are same with respect to each other.

Which of the following complex exhibits geometrical isomerism

Square planar complexes are generally formed by d^(8) ions with strong field ligands. The crystal field splitting is larger for second and third row transition elements and for more highly charged species. All the complexes having 4d^(8)" and "5d^(8) configuration are mostly square including those with weak field ligands such halide ions. Square planar complexes with coordination number four can show diastereoisomerism. Which of the ions do not form the square planar complexes amongst the following ions ?
