The total number of possible isomers for is ____
Answer: 6
Solution
For the complex , we need to consider:
1. Ionization isomers (different ions inside and outside coordination sphere):
2. Geometrical isomers for each ionization isomer:
For octahedral Pt(IV) with 4 NH₃ and 2 other ligands:
Total = 3 ionization isomers × 2 geometrical isomers each = 6 isomers
1. Ionization isomers (different ions inside and outside coordination sphere):
- (I) → 2 geometrical isomers (cis and trans)
- (II) → 2 geometrical isomers (cis and trans)
- (III) → 2 geometrical isomers (cis and trans)
2. Geometrical isomers for each ionization isomer:
For octahedral Pt(IV) with 4 NH₃ and 2 other ligands:
- Cis isomer: two identical ligands adjacent
- Trans isomer: two identical ligands opposite
Total = 3 ionization isomers × 2 geometrical isomers each = 6 isomers
