Question

Due to the presence of ambidentate ligands coordination compounds show isomerism. Palladium complexes of the type [Pd(C6H5)2(SCN)2] and [Pd(C6H5)2 (NCS)2] are (A) linkage isomers (B) coordination isomers (C) ionisation isomers (D) geometrical isomers.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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.
