Which of the following will give a pair of enantiomorphs?

A$$\left [ Pt\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{4} \right ]\left [ PtCl_{6} \right ]$$
B$$\left [ Co\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{4}Cl_{2} \right ]NO_{2}$$
C$$\left [ Cr\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{6} \right ]\left [ Co\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ]$$
D$$\left [ Co\left ( en \right )_{2}Cl_{2} \right ]Cl$$
Correct Answer

Solution

Molecules or compounds which are mirror images of each other but are not identical. and they rotate the plane of polarised light equally but in opposite directions are called as enantiomorphs.

Hence option D is correct.
