The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given coordination compounds will give a pair of enantiomers, we need to analyze each option based on their molecular geometry and the presence of chiral centers. Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, typically arising in compounds with chiral centers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Enantiomers**: - Enantiomers are optical isomers that are non-superimposable mirror images. They usually occur in compounds that have at least one chiral center. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - We need to evaluate each coordination compound provided in the options to check for the presence of chiral centers. 3. **Option A**: Coordination compound with similar ligands. - If the ligands are the same and arranged symmetrically, the compound will not have a chiral center. Therefore, it cannot produce enantiomers. 4. **Option B**: Coordination compound with octahedral geometry. - In this case, if the ligands are arranged in a symmetrical manner (like in a trans configuration), the mirror images will be superimposable. Thus, it will not yield enantiomers. 5. **Option C**: Another coordination compound with similar ligands. - Similar to the previous options, if the ligands are the same and arranged symmetrically, it will not exhibit chirality and hence will not produce enantiomers. 6. **Option D**: Coordination compound with bidentate ligands. - This compound is of the form [Co(en)₂Cl₂], where 'en' represents ethylenediamine, a bidentate ligand. - In the cis configuration, the two bidentate ligands can create a chiral environment. - When we draw the cis form, we find that the mirror image of this structure is non-superimposable, indicating the presence of enantiomers. 7. **Conclusion**: - The only compound that can form a pair of enantiomers is option D, which contains the bidentate ligand ethylenediamine. ### Final Answer: The answer is option D, which contains the possibility of a pair of enantiomers.
