Ques. 1AIPMT 2007

Which of the following will give a pair of enantiomorphs? (en = NH2CH2CH2NH2)

  1. [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6]
  2. [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl
  3. [Pt(NH3)4][PtCl6]
  4. [Co(NH3)4Cl2]NO2

Answer

(2) [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl

Solution

Options (1) and (3) contain only [MA6] and [MA4] / [MB6] ions — no optical isomerism.

Option (4): [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ([MA4B2]) shows only cis–trans isomerism; both forms have a plane of symmetry.

Option (2): [Co(en)2Cl2]+ ([M(AA)2B2]). As per NCERT, its cis isomer has no plane of symmetry and exists as a pair of non-superimposable mirror images (d and l forms).

Answer: (2)
