Subjective Type

Find the number of facial isomers in $$Ma_3b_3$$ complex.

Solution

A facial isomer (fac) in which each set of three identical ligands occupies one face of the octahedron surrounding the metal atom, so that any two of these three ligands are mutually cis.

The number of geometrical isomer in [$$ MA_{3}B_{3} $$] is 2. They include fac or facial or cis isomer and mer or meridonal or trans isomer.

solution

Hence , correct answer is 1.
