Question

The number of optical isomers exhibited by the iron complex (A) obtained from the following reaction is ________ FeCl 3 ​ + KOH + H 2 ​ C 2 ​ O 4 ​ → A

TestHub · Accepted Answer

FeCl 3 ​ + KOH + H 2 ​ SO 4 ​ → K 3 ​ [ Fe ( C 2 ​ O 4 ​ ) 3 ​ ] ⇒ [ Fe ( C 2 ​ O 4 ​ ) 3 ​ ] 3 − is [ M ( AA ) 3 ​ ] type complex. So total optical isomers = 2
