 CHEM2P32 Lecture 7: Stereoisomers of Metal Complexes
The cis-cis-cis geometric isomer of MA is chiral.
Isomer C: one chloride is trans to a middle nitrogen, the other is trans to a terminal nitrogen.
The three isomers place A trans to C, A trans to B, and A trans to D. None of these is chiral (the square plane is the plane of symmetry in these complexes).

Geometrical isomers have a plane of symmetry and arise because of the restricted rotation of atoms around a bond&; optical isomers are mirror images of each other.
Structural isomers have obviously different constructions, but geometrical and optical isomers must be drawn or modelled in order to appreciate the difference in their three-dimensional arrangement.
CHCl) are structural isomers, but there are two possible geometric isomers of the latter (depending on whether the chlorine atoms are on the same side or on opposite sides of the plane of the carbon–carbon double bond).

 Isomerism in Coordination Compounds
Optical isomers are related as non-superimposable mirror images and differ in the direction with which they rotate plane-polarised light.
Note that, although it is predicted that tetrahedral complexes with 4 different ligands should be able to give rise to optical isomers (compare C chemistry), in general they are too labile and can not be isolated.
These isomers are referred to as enantiomers or enantiomorphs of each other and their non-superimposable structures are described as being asymmetric.

 Optical isomerism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Via a magneto-optic effect, the (-)-form of an optical isomer rotates the plane of polarization of a beam of polarized light that passes through a quantity of the material in solution counterclockwise, the (+)-form clockwise.
Optical isomerism is a form of isomerism (specifically stereoisomerism) where the two different isomers are the same in every way except being non-superposable
One example is the amino acid alanine: alanine has two optical isomers, and they are labeled according to which isomer of glyceraldehyde they come from.

 Isomerism
Thus, the RS isomer is a diastereomer of the RR and SS isomers, and the SS isomer is a diastereomer of the RS and SR isomers.
Isomers are defined as molecules of identical atomic compositions (molecular formulas), but with different bonding arrangements of atoms or orientation of their atoms in space.
However, the amount of optical rotation is not constant for an individual enantiomer but rather is dependent on the solvent, concentration, temperature, the wavelength of light used, and the path length of the sample cell employed to determine the rotation.

In the (E) or “trans” isomer, the “methyl groups”, (CH are on opposite sides of C=C, whereas in the (Z) or “cis” isomer, a different geometry pertains in which the “methyl groups” are on the same side of C=C. The final type of isomerism, “optical isomerism” is the most challenging for students.
The "non-superimposibility" of 9 upon 10 or vice versa, is the one true test of "optical isomerism".
As a general rule, "optical isomers" have four different groups attached to C*, such as hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine and bromine.

Optical isomerism occurs as a result of a molecule having a mirror image that is non-superimposable on it.
When light that has been polarized, so that it travels in only one plane, is shone on an optical isomer and the isomer is rotated, at a particular angle the light is absorbed.
When synthetic reactions are carried out that make compounds with the possibility of optical isomers, a 50:50 mixture of both isomers will be made.

Where optical isomerism is possible, in time one form will dominate over another because to catalyse reactions with the other isomer requires more energy.
One theory suggests that a small excess of one isomer, created by an abundance of circularly polarised light (common in star forming regions), and subsequent amplification by later chemical reactions, did the trick.
Almost all sugars are D isomers (gut membrane glucose transporters will accept L-glucose with 1% of the avidity of the D form - but most organisms can't do anything with L-glucose).

 Optical Isomerism
It is now known that even when a stereo selective sample of thalidomide (only one of the optical isomers) is created, if administered pH in the body, can cause racemizing.
The only difference is the positioning of the functional groups, yet it was believed this affected much more than the optical activity of the compound.
aboratory tests after the thalidomide disaster showed that in some animals the 'S' enantiomer was tetragenic but the 'R' isomer was an effective sedative.

These types of isomers were found in many cases to affect plane-polarized light by rotating it either to the right or left and hence termed optically active molecules, and it is for this reason that they are called optical isomers.

Optical isomers of a given compound are often identical in all physical properties except the direction in which they rotate light.
Isomers are classified as structural isomers, which have the same number of atoms of each element and molecular weight but different bonding patterns (see chemical bond), or as stereoisomers, which have the same number of atoms of each element, molecular weight, and bonding pattern but in which the atoms have different spatial relationships.

Optical isomerism is immensely important in biological systems.

 Optical Activity
The observed rotation is dependent upon the path length of the light passing through the sample compartment and is also dependent upon the number of molecules of the isomer.
Suppose that the observed rotation was -45.5 degrees of rotation.
As a result, the rotation of the plane polarized light by one configuration is not canceled out or negated by rotation of the light by the opposite configured molecule because it is not present.

 Organic Isomers
Optical isomers have the same chemical and physical properties, except that one structure rotates the plane of polarized light to the right and the other rotates it to the left.

Functional isomerism, another kind of structural isomerism, occurs when substances have the same molecular formula but different functional groups.
