How many of the following bidentate ligands can show geometrical or optical isomerism?
DMG⁻¹; gly⁻¹; bn; ibn; pn; en; acac⁻¹
Answer:
3
Solution:
Isomerism requires asymmetry or specific ligand arrangements. Gly⁻¹, bn, and pn are asymmetric/chiral, allowing isomerism. DMG⁻¹, en, acac⁻¹, ibn are symmetric. Thus, 3 ligands.
