Q. Due to the presence of ambidentate ligands coordination compounds show isomerism. Palladium complexes of the type $[Pd(C_{6}H_{5})_{2}(SCN)_{2}]$ and $[Pd(C_{6}H_{5})_{2} (NCS)_{2}]$ are

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

Linkage isomerism arises in a coordination compound containing ambidentate ligand. A simple example is by complexes containing the thiocyanate ligand, $NCS$-, which may bind through the nitrogen to give $M - NCS$ or through sulphur to give $M - SCN$.
