Name the type of isomerism when ambidentate ligands are attached to central metal ion. Give two examples of ambidentate ligands.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ligand having more than one different binding position are known as ambidentate ligand. e.g. SCN has two different binding positions S and N. Coordination compound conatining ambidentate ligands are considered to show linkage isomerism due to the presence of two different binding positions.
e.g. (i) `[Co(NH_(3))_(5)SCN]^(3+)and`
(ii) `[Fe(NH_(3))_(5)(NO_(2))]^(3+)`
