$[Co(en)_2Cl_2]Cl$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Optical isomerism is exhibited by complexes that lack a plane of symmetry or center of inversion. For the complex $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]Cl$,the cis-isomer exists in two enantiomeric forms (non-superimposable mirror images) because it lacks a plane of symmetry. The trans-isomer,however,possesses a plane of symmetry and is optically inactive. Since the cis-form is chiral,the complex $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ exhibits optical isomerism.
