JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 23rd January Morning Shift - No. 18)
The complex that shows Facial - Meridional isomerism is :
$\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}$
$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{Cl}_3\right]$
$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}$
$\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3\right]^{3+}$
Explanation
$\mathrm{Ma}_3 \mathrm{~b}_3$ type complexes show Facial - Meridional isomerism
(i) $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{Cl}_3\right] \Rightarrow \mathrm{Ma}_3 \mathrm{~b}_3$
(ii) $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+} \Rightarrow \mathrm{Ma}_4 \mathrm{~b}_2$
(iii) $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3\right]^{3+} \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{M}(\mathrm{AA})_3$
(iv) $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+} \Rightarrow \mathrm{M}(\mathrm{AA})_2 \mathrm{~b}_2$
$\mathrm{a,b},=\mathrm{NH}_3, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
$\mathrm{AA}=\mathrm{en}$
