Question

Geometrical isomerism is found in coordination compounds having coordination number: (A) 6 (B) 3 (C) 4 (tetrahedral) (D) 2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Geometrical isomerism is found in compound having coordination no. 4 (square planar and not tetrahedral shape) as well as coordination no. 6
Coordination no. 4 (square planar)

M_{A_{2} BC} . M_{A_{2} B_{2}}

Showing geometrical isomerism

M_{A BC D}

Coordination no. 6 (octahedral) m a

M_{A_{4} B_{2}} . M_{A_{4} BC}

Showing geometrical isomerism Ma

M_{A_{3} B_{3}} . M_{(AA)_{2} B_{2}}
