The octahedral complex [Co(gly)₂(NO₂)(SCN)]⁻ has two ambidentate monodentate ligands, NO₂⁻ (N or O) and SCN⁻ (S or N), and two unsymmetrical glycinate chelates. Find the total number of isomers, counting linkage forms and stereoisomers.
Answer:
44
Solution:
Four linkage forms arise from the two ambidentate ligands (2 × 2). Each form is M(AB)₂bc, which has 11 stereoisomers. Total = 4 × 11 = 44.
