`[M("AA")_(2)X_(2)]^(n+)` is an optically active complex ion. What is its geometry? Give an example.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the given representation, '"AA'" indicates a bidentate ligand and 'X' indicates a monodentate ligand. Coordination number of the central metal atom M' = 6. Hence, the complex has an octahedral geometry. As it is an optically active ion, it has a cis - isomer.
Such a complex ion is `cis-[Cr(en)_(2)Cl_(2)]^(+)`
