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.
