Match the column :
List - I Complex compound | List - II Characteristics |
|---|---|
(A) | (P) Shows linkage isomerism |
(B) | (Q) No geometrical isomers |
(C) | (R) EAN value of central metal is 36 |
(D) | (S) Oxidation number of metal |
| (T) Metal-Metal bond |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
(A) : Contains ambidentate ligands ( and ), thus showing linkage isomerism (P). It is a octahedral complex, so it has geometrical isomers.
(B) : A dimeric metal carbonyl with a Metal-Metal bond (T). The oxidation state of Mn is 0 (S), and it follows the EAN rule (R) (). It has no geometrical isomers (Q).
(C) : The oxidation state of Co is -1 (S). It follows the EAN rule (R) () and is tetrahedral, meaning no geometrical isomers (Q).
(D) : A homoleptic complex with chelating dicarboxylate ligands; it has no geometrical isomers (Q) (only optical).
