Consider the [Ir2(dimen)4] 2+ complex. Notice that the dimen ligand is asymmetric. There is also a different, symmetric diisocyano ligand referred to as “TM4” (structure shown to the right) that forms the same sort of binuclear complex that dimen does.

How many geometric isomers (ignore any optical ones) of [Ir2(dimen)4] 2+ are there? c. In the “twisted” deformational isomer, would you expect [Ir2(TM4)4] 2+ or[Ir2(dimen)4] 2+ to be able to rotate polarized light? Justify your answer.
