Vedclass · Answer

(D) Optical isomerism is exhibited by coordination compounds that lack a plane of symmetry or a center of inversion.$1$. $cis-[Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2]$ and $trans-[Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2]$ are square planar complexes,which generally do not exhibit optical isomerism due to the presence of a molecular plane of symmetry.$2$. $trans-[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ has a plane of symmetry passing through the $Co$ atom and the two $Cl$ atoms,making it achiral.$3$. $cis-[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ lacks a plane of symmetry and a center of inversion,meaning it exists as a pair of non-superimposable mirror images (enantiomers). Therefore,it exhibits optical isomerism.

Which one of the following is expected to exhibit optical isomerism $(en = \text{ethylenediamine})$?
