Passage / Comprehension

Complex compounds that have the same molecular formula but have different structural/space arrangements of ligands around central metal atom/ion are called isomers, these are of two types namely structural and stereoisomers.

Types of isomerism exhibited by is/are :

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:

(A) Ionisation Isomerism

Exchange of coordinated ligand and counter ion is possible.

(B) Linkage Isomerism

is an ambidentate ligand:

Nitro: (N-bonded)

Nitrito: (O-bonded)

Hence, linkage isomerism occurs.

(C) Geometrical Isomerism

The complex is octahedral of type , so it shows:

cis

trans

forms.

(D) Optical Isomerism

For octahedral complexes, neither the cis nor the trans form is chiral.

Hence, no optical isomerism.
