Complexes exhibit isomerism.Presence of the following ligand is a necessary condition to exhibit linkage isomerism by a complex
SO4−2
NO2−
C2O4−2
H2N−CH2−CH2−NH2
CN−,SCN−,NO2−, ONO−,NC−,NCS−are ambidendate ligands. Complexes containing ambidentate ligands exhibit linkage isomerism.Ex:− CoNH35NO2+2 and CoNH35ONO+2
