Chemistry - Coordination Chemistry Question with Solution | TestHub
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:
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.
Answer: .
