Question
Which of the following pairs represents linkage isomers?
-
[Cu(NH3)4][PtCl4] and [Pt(NH3)4][CuCl4]
-
[Pd(PPh3)2(NCS)2] and [Pd(PPh3)2(SCN)2]
-
[CO(NH3)5NO3]SO4 and [CO(NH3)5SO4]NO3
-
[PtCl2(NH3)4]Br2 and [PtBr2(NH3)4]Cl2
Solution
B.
[Pd(PPh3)2(NCS)2] and [Pd(PPh3)2(SCN)2]
Linkage isomerism is shown by ambidient ligands like NCS and SCN. NCS- is ambidentate ligand and it can be linked through N (or) S
