Question
Chapter 15.7, Problem 15.19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the sample containing equal amounts of two enantiomers is optically active or not should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Optical activity is an effect of an optical isomer's interaction with plane-polarized light. There are certain substances which has the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light as it passes through a solution, crystal, or liquid is said to be the optical activity.

A.
B.
b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion
and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive
compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts
rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other
compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a
stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more
stable molecule, and why?
Where are the chiral centers in this molecule? Also is this compound meso yes or no?
