Vedclass · Answer

(A) complex is optically inactive if it possesses a plane of symmetry or a center of inversion. $1$. $[RhCl(CO)(PPh_3)(NH_3)]$ is a square planar complex. All square planar complexes are optically inactive because they possess a plane of symmetry (the molecular plane). $2$. $[Fe(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}$ is an octahedral complex with three bidentate ligands,which is chiral and optically active. $3$. $[Fe(en)_2Cl_2]$ can exist as cis and trans isomers; the cis-isomer is optically active. $4$. $[Pd(en)_2Cl_2]$ is a square planar complex,but in the context of coordination chemistry,$[RhCl(CO)(PPh_3)(NH_3)]$ is the most classic example of an inherently achiral square planar geometry.
