Which of the following is correct about Tetraamminedithiocyanato-s cobalt(III) tris(oxalato)cobaltate(III)?

Answer»

Formula of the COMPLEX is `[CO(SCN)_(2)(NH_(3))_(4)][Co(o x)_(3)]`
It is a chelating complex and show linkage isomerism
it SHOWS optical isomerism
it shows geometrical isomerism

Solution :Formula of the complex `[Co^(III)(SCN_(2))(NH_(3))_(4)]_(3)[Co^(III)(o x)_(3)]`
Linkage isomerism is DUE to presence of `SCN^(-)`
optical isomerism is exhibited due to presence of `[Co(o x)_(3)]^(3-)` complex ion, which has asymmetric structure.
Geometrical isomerism is exhibited due to cationic part:
