Which of the following complex species is not expected to exhibit optical isomerism?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Optical isomerism occurs in complexes that are chiral (lack a plane of symmetry). is a chelating complex and is always chiral. (cis-form) is chiral. is of the type . It has two geometrical isomers: facial (fac) and meridonial (mer). Both fac and mer isomers possess a plane of symmetry and are therefore achiral. They do not show optical isomerism.
