Hydrolysis of trans-$[\mathrm{CoLCl(en)_2}]^{+}$ ($\mathrm{L} = \mathrm{NO_2^{-}}, \mathrm{NCS^{-}}, \mathrm{OH^{-}}, \mathrm{Cl^{-}}$) results in a product (A). The tendency to form cis-isomer of the product (A) follows the order
(a)$\mathrm{L} = \mathrm{NO_2^{-}} < \mathrm{NCS^{-}} < \mathrm{OH^{-}} < \mathrm{Cl^{-}}$
(b)$\mathrm{L} = \mathrm{NO_2^{-}} < \mathrm{Cl^{-}} < \mathrm{NCS^{-}} < \mathrm{OH^{-}}$
(d)$\mathrm{L} = \mathrm{OH^{-}} < \mathrm{NCS^{-}} < \mathrm{Cl^{-}} < \mathrm{NO_2^{-}}$
(c)$\mathrm{L} = \mathrm{OH^{-}} < \mathrm{Cl^{-}} < \mathrm{NO_2^{-}} < \mathrm{NCS^{-}}$
