Which one of the following octahedral complexes will not show geometric isomerism ? (A and B are monodentate ligands)

A$$[MA_{2}B_{4}]$$
B$$[MA_{3}B_{3}]$$
C$$[MA_{4}B_{2}]$$
D$$[MA_{5}B]$$
Correct Answer

Solution

Octahedral complexes of the type $$[MA_4B_2], [MA_2B_4], [MA_3B_3]$$ exhibit geometrical isomerism.

So, option D is the correct answer.
