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))_(2)Cl_(2)]^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Both facial and meridional isomers of `[Co(NH_(3))_(3)Cl_(3)]` contain plane of symmetry. So, the complex does not show optical isomerism.
