Which of the following complexes will show coordination isomerism? Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. B, C and D Only
  2. B, D and E Only
  3. A, C and D Only
  4. C, D and E Only

Answer

(2) B, D and E Only

Solution

As per NCERT, coordination isomerism arises from the interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in a complex.

A. [Ag(NH3)2][Ag(CN)2] and C. [Co(NH3)6][Co(CN)6] – the same metal ion in both entities ⇒ not counted.

B. [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6] ⇌ isomer [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6] ✓

D. [Fe(NH3)6][Co(CN)6] and E. [Co(NH3)6][Fe(CN)6] – different metal ions; in fact D and E are coordination isomers of each other ✓

∴ B, D and E only.

Answer: (2)
