Geometrical isomerism

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The square planar complex shown is $[M(en)_2]^{n+}$,where $en$ is ethylenediamine. Square planar complexes of the type $[MA_2B_2]$ or $[M(AB)_2]$ exhibit geometrical isomerism (cis and trans forms). However,for square planar complexes,optical isomerism is generally not observed because they possess a plane of symmetry (the molecular plane itself). Linkage isomerism is shown by ambidentate ligands,which are not present here. Therefore,the complex exhibits geometrical isomerism.

Which type of isomerism is exhibited by the square planar complex shown in the image?
