Interpretation:
For the following complexes whether optical isomers are present have to be determined and the same have to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:
Co-ordination compounds exhibit structural isomerism and stereoisomerism. Stereoisomerism deals with three dimensional spatial arrangements of atoms or groups of molecule. There are two types of stereoisomerism – Geometric isomerism and optical isomerism.
A cis isomer has two same ligands lying adjacent to each other whereas a trans isomer has two same ligands lying opposite to each other.
In optical isomerism the isomer that rotates the plane of the polarized light in clockwise direction is termed as d-isomer and the isomer rotates the plane of the polarized light in anti-clockwise direction is l-isomer. These isomers are called optical isomers and they are non-superimposable mirror images.

Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book? Sketch the new highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs for the molecule (B2H6).arrow_forwardQ8: Propose an efficient synthesis of cyclopentene from cyclopentane.arrow_forward
