Consider the following compounds
(1) Triamminetrinitritocobalt(III)
(2) Potassium amminedicyanidodioxidoperoxidochromate(VI)
(3) Tris(ethylenediamine) chromium(III) chloride
(4) Sodium tetrachloridozincate(II)
(5) Tetrathiocyanato-S-cadmate(II) ion
Number of compounds from above list that can show both structural & stereoisomerism is.
Answer:
2
Solution:
Compounds (1) and (3) can exhibit both structural and stereoisomerism.
(1) Triamminetrinitritocobalt(III): Linkage isomerism (structural) and geometric isomerism (stereoisomerism).
(3) Tris(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) chloride: Coordination isomerism (structural) and optical isomerism (stereoisomerism).
