All possible geometric isomers for
Concept Introduction:
Geometric isomerism is a type of isomerism which is said by the position of the ligand in the complex. In case of tetrahedral complex, geometric isomerism is not possible as all the corners are equivalent. This isomerism is possible in case of square planar and octahedral complexes. If the two same ligands are present adjacent to each other means it is known as cis isomer and if they are present opposite to each other means it is known as trans isomer.

- Draw the octahedral crystal field d orbital splitting diagrams for [Fe(OH2)6] 2+ and [Fe(CN)6] 3. Indicate if the diagrams are high spin and low spin. give the names of the d-orbitals (dxz, dxy, dzy, dz2, dx2 - y2) label the appropriate orbital sets eg* and t2g and show how the electrons populate the diagram. (Hint: Pairing energy for 3d orbitals Fe 2+ = 29875 cm-1, Fe 3+ = 19150 cm-1; delta OH for Fe(OH2)6]2+ = 14300 cm-1 and delta OH for [Fe(CN)6]3 - is 35000 cm-1arrow_forwardDraw the geometrical structure of both cis- and trans-forms of K[Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2].arrow_forwardHow many geometric isomers exist for [CoCl2(en)2]Cl?
