Chapter 23, Problem 44E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If geometric isomerism is exhibited by the complex ${\left[\text{Rh}\left(\text{bipy}\right){\left(\text{o-phen}\right)}_{\text{2}}\right]}^{3+}$ and the number of isomers if it exhibits geometric isomerism.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If geometric isomerism is exhibited by the complex ${\left[\text{Co}{\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}\left(\text{bipy}\right)\text{Br}\right]}^{2+}$ and the number of isomers if it exhibits geometric isomerism.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If geometric isomerism is exhibited by the complex square-planar $\left[\text{Pd}\left(\text{en}\right){\left(\text{CN}\right)}_{\text{2}}\right]$ and the number of isomers if it exhibits geometric isomerism.
