Potentially useful viewing commands:
This is one isomer of the [tris(1,2-diaminocyclohexane)Co(III)]3+ Ion More Info/Ref
1. Determine the symmetry operations for the molecule and assign it to a point group.
2. Do the ligands have a &delta or &lambda twist? If so, assign the conformation of each ligand.
3. Is this ion chiral? If so, is this a &Lambda or a &Delta Isomer? If it is not chiral, give an explanation based on symmetry arguments.
4. If it is chiral, what isomer would be it's enantiomer?
