Cobalt(II) forms more tetrahedral complexes than any other ion except zinc(II). Draw the structure(s) of the tet- rahedral complex [CoCl;(en)]. Could this complex exhibit geometric or optical isomerism? If one of the Cl¯ ligands is replaced by Br¯, what kinds of isomerism, if any, are possible in the resulting compound?
