Transition Metals and Coordination Complexes

Linkage and Ionization Isomers

Description

Isomers are different chemical species that share the same chemical formula. In coordination compounds, structural isomerism includes linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers. These two forms show how the same atoms can be arranged in different ways around a metal center.

Linkage isomers f...

Transcript

Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but a different structural arrangement. Each isomer has distinct physical and chemical properties. In coordination compounds, one type of isomerism observed is structural isomerism.

In structural isomerism, the connectivities of the atoms to the central metal atom are different des...
