Hey dear,
● Answer -
6 isomers
● Explaination -
- In [Co(en)2Br2]Cl, one Br- ion from the co-ordination sphere can be replaced by Cl- ion to form ionization isomer [Co(en)2BrCl]Br.
- Each of them can form cis and trans isomers.
- Further, cis-isomer shows optical isomerism with d-form & l-form.
- Therefore, total isomers will be 2×(1+2) = 6 .
