Which of the following species cannot be resolved into 'd' and ' ' form.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Option (C) represents an octahedral complex of the type , specifically .

All possible geometrical isomers (both fac and mer forms) of this complex possess at least one plane of symmetry.

Because they contain a plane of symmetry, all its isomers are achiral (optically inactive).

Therefore, it cannot be resolved into enantiomeric 'd' and 'l' forms.
