3 \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\text { en })_{3} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}\)
4 \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\text { en })_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}\)
Explanation:
Optical isomerism is exhibited by only those complexes which lack elements of symmetry. \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right]\) shows facial as well as meridional isomerism. But the forms contain plane of symmetry. Thus, this complex does not exhibit optical isomerism.
