In the tetrahedral drawing, each continuous curved line joins the donor ends of ONE achiral unsymmetrical ligand AB, A ≠ B. Wedges show front/back metal bonds. Ignore ring conformations. Which species CANNOT be resolved into enantiomers?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Two unsymmetrical tetrahedral chelates give a chiral connectivity. B is chiral through R,R ligand centres; D has Δ/Λ forms. mer-Ma₃b₃ has a mirror plane and is achiral. The entire ligand structure and chelate connectivity must be examined, not just the metal donor set.
