Question

The complex [Co(NH3)5(NO2)]2+ and [Co(NH3)5(ONO)]2+ are called (A) ionisation isomers (B) linkage isomers (C) coordination isomers (D) geometrical isomers

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The ligand NO2 is ambidentate ligand, it may attaches to the central metal ion of a complex through N as well as through O atoms. Hence these compounds show linkage isomerism.

Q. The complex $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} (N O_{2})]^{2 +}$ and $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} (ONO)]^{2 +}$ are called

ionisation isomers

linkage isomers

coordination isomers

geometrical isomers

The ligand $N O_{2}$ is ambidentate ligand, it may attaches to the central metal ion of a complex through N as well as through O atoms. Hence these compounds show linkage isomerism.
