The correct Answer is:
To determine which complex is associated with facial and meridional isomers, we need to analyze the provided options and understand the characteristics of these isomers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Facial and Meridional Isomers**: - Facial (fac) and meridional (mer) isomers are types of stereoisomers that occur in octahedral complexes with three identical ligands and three other ligands. - In the facial isomer, the three identical ligands occupy two adjacent corners of the octahedron, creating a "face." - In the meridional isomer, the three identical ligands are arranged in a plane that divides the octahedron into two equal halves. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: MAA2** - This complex has two identical ligands and one different ligand. It does not fit the criteria for facial and meridional isomers. - **Option B: MA3B3** - This complex has three identical ligands (A) and three different ligands (B). This configuration allows for the formation of both facial and meridional isomers. - **Option C: MABCD** - This complex has four different ligands. It cannot exhibit facial or meridional isomerism as there are no identical ligands. - **Option D: MAA3** - This complex has three identical ligands and one different ligand, which does not allow for facial and meridional isomerism. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the complex that exhibits facial and meridional isomers is **Option B: MA3B3**. ### Final Answer: **Option B: MA3B3** is the correct answer as it allows for the formation of facial and meridional isomers.
