How do I find all the different geometric and optical isomers of a general octahedral complex ion with only monodentate ligands? I know well the method for finding geometric isomers in a square planar complex: any pair of ligands positioned diagonally to each other are opposite and their positions freely rotatable. However, I need a similar method to apply for geometric isomerism in octahedral complexes (and preferably, geometric isomerism in general) and also optical isomerism which I don't know how to include when in conjunction with geometric.
