Q. The type of isomerism present in nitropentaamminechromium (III) chloride is

AIEEEAIEEE 2002Coordination Compounds

Solution:

Linkage isomerism is present in pentaammine nitro chromium (III) chloride due to the presence of $NO _{2}^{-} .$
The isomers are $\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{5}\left( NO _{2}\right)\right]^{2+}$ and $\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{5}( ONO )\right]^{2+}$.
