Which of the following compounds has enantiomers?(a) K3[Fe(CN)6](b) K3[Al(C2O4)3](c) K2[Zn(OH)4](d) K2[PdCl4]I have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.My enquiry is from Isomerism in Coordination Compounds in section Coordination Compounds of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer» RIGHT option is (b) K3[Al(C2O4)3]

To explain: K3[Fe(CN)6], K2[Zn(OH)4] and K2[PdCl4] are compounds with unidentate LIGANDS and CN of 6 (octahedral), 4 and 4 RESPECTIVELY. Whereas, K3[Al(C2O4)3] is an octahedral compound with a didentate ligand OXALATE and shows optical isomerism.
