Chemistry - STEREO ISOMERISM Question with Solution | TestHub

The complex $\left[\mathrm{Pt}(\mathrm{gly}{)}_2\right]$ is square planar. Glycinate (gly) is a bidentate ligand.

It can exist as cis and trans isomers. The cis isomer is optically active and has two enantiomers (d and l forms). The trans isomer is optically inactive (meso compound).

Total stereoisomers = 3 (cis-d, cis-l, trans).

However, if the question implies the number of possible geometric isomers, then the answer is 2 (cis and trans). Given the options, the question likely refers to geometric isomers.

Therefore, the number of stereoisomers (geometric isomers) is 2.
