Question -

Indicate the types of isomerism exhibited by the following complexes and draw the structures for these isomers:



Answer -

1.      K[Cr(H2O)2(C2O4)2

2.      [Co(en)3]Cl3

3.      [Co(NH3)5(NO2)](NO3)2

4.      [Pt(NH3)(H2O)Cl2]


Answer

1 Bothgeometrical (cis-, trans-) isomers for canexist. Also, optical isomers for cis-isomer exist.

Trans-isomer is opticallyinactive. On the other hand, cis-isomer is optically active.

                                       

Two optical isomers for  exist. 

Two optical isomers are possible for thisstructure.

   3 

A pair of optical isomers:

It can also show linkage isomerism.

and 

It can also show ionization isomerism.

  4  Geometrical (cis-trans-) isomers of  can exist.
