Question

Write all the geometrical isomers of  $[Pt(NH_3)(Br)(Cl)(py)$ ] and how many of these will exhibit optical isomers?

cdquestions Admin · Accepted Answer

From the above isomers, none will exhibit optical isomers. Tetrahedral complexes rarely show optical isomerization. They do so only in the presence of unsymmetrical chelating agents.
