Coordination Chemistry

It is a part of chemistry, in which the study of compounds that have central atoms surrounded by molecules or ions, known as ligand, is known as coordination chemistry.

Question

**Which of the following has optical isomers? Explain your answer**

a) Square planar - \([Pb(OH)Br_2]^{2-}\)

b) Square planar - \([Zn(en)Cl_2]\)

c) Trans - \([Cr(NH_3)_2Cl_4]^3\)

(Note: \(en\) stands for ethylenediamine, which is a bidentate ligand)

**Explanation:**

**a) Square planar - \([Pb(OH)Br_2]^{2-}\)**

Square planar complexes do not typically exhibit optical isomerism because their planar structure can be superimposed on its mirror image. Optical isomerism requires chirality, which is absent in this geometry.

**b) Square planar - \([Zn(en)Cl_2]\)**

In this case, the molecule has ethylenediamine (en) as a bidentate ligand. Square planar structures with bidentate ligands can have non-superimposable mirror images, leading to optical isomerism. Therefore, this complex is optically active.

**c) Trans - \([Cr(NH_3)_2Cl_4]^3\)**

The trans configuration in octahedral complexes places the same ligands opposite each other. As a result, the complex is symmetrical and cannot be chiral. Therefore, this complex does not have optical isomers.

**Conclusion:**
The correct answer is **b) Square planar - \([Zn(en)Cl_2]\)** since this complex is capable of exhibiting optical isomerism due to its structure with bidentate ligands.
