Draw the geometrical isomers of `[Co(en)_2CI_2]^+` ion.Which of these is optically active ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


These are optical isomers of the compound `[Co(en)_2Br_2]^(+)` of the type `[M(A A)_2B_2]` containing two symmetrical didentate ligands. This complex forms geometrical isomers (C is and trans), due to symmetry trans - isomer does not show optical isomerism, while C is - isomer shows optical isomerism due to unsymmetry.
