Structural Isomerism

Isomerism in Complexes

Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.

Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains...

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...
