Tetrahedral complex cannot show geometrical isomerism .

coordination compounds often show various types of isomerism. The isomerism can be categorized in two main types (a) structural isomerism (b) stereo or space isomerism Structural isomerism arises due to the difference in structures of coordination-sempounds while stereo or space isomerism arises on account of the different positions and arrangements of ligands (atoms or groups) in space around the metal lonStructural isomerism can be classified in following types (i) tonization isomers- which give different ions in solution, e.g. [CoBr(NH_(3))_(5)]]SO_(4) and [Co(SO_(4))_(5)(NH_(3))_(5)]Br Hydrate isomers which differ in H_(2)O as ligand or as hydration, e.g. [Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)]CI_(2)(H_(2)O)]Cl_(2).H_(2)O[CrCl_(2)(H_(2)O)]CI.2H_(2)O (iii) Linkage isomers, which differ in atom linked to 'metal atom, e.g. [CO(NO_(2))(NH_(3))_(5)]^(2+) and CO(ONO)(NH_(3))_(6)]^(2+) Coordination isomers- which involve interchange of ligands, e.g. [Co(NH_(3))_(6)] [Cr(CN)_(6)] and [Cr(NH_(3))_(6)] [Co(CN)_(6)] (v) Coordination position isomerism-which arises in the bridged complexes due to the difference in the attachment of ligands with the metal atoms QThe total number of possible isomers for the complex compound [Cu^(ll)(NH_(3))_(4)] [Pt^(ll)Cl_(4) ]are
