Optical isomerism in complexes is most common in:
Atetrahedral, one ligand type
Blinear, two equal ligands
Coctahedral, didentate ligands
Dsquare planar, unidentate
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. octahedral, didentate ligands
Didentate ligands wrapped around an octahedral centre, as in [Co(en)₃]³⁺, produce non-superimposable mirror images.
