Write the geometrical isomers of [Pt(NH(...

Write the geometrical isomers of `[Pt(NH_(3))(Br)(Cl)("py")]` and how many of these will exhibit optical isomers?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are three geometrical isomers of `[Pt(NH_(3))Br(Cl)("py")]` (These structures are obtained by fixing the position of one ligand, i.e. `NH_(3)` and placing at the trans-position any one of the remaining three ligands one by one. Two of these are cis and one of trans).

Optical isomrism is not exhibited by the compound with CN = 4 and square planar geometry because of the presence of horizontal plane of symmetry.
