An octahedral complex Ma₂b₂cd has X geometrical isomers with the two a ligands cis and Y geometrical isomers with the two a ligands trans. Find X × Y.
Answer:
8
Solution:
Ma₂b₂cd has 6 geometrical isomers. With a trans, the equatorial plane holds b, b, c, d: b trans (so c trans d) or b cis, giving Y = 2. The remaining 4 have a cis, so X = 4. X × Y = 8.
