Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The possible isomers of the complex
Concept Introduction:
Isomers:
The compounds with same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of the atom are said to be isomers.
Linkage isomers:
Linkage isomerism occurs with ambidentate ligands that are capable of coordinating in more than one way.
Example:
Hydrate Isomers:
Hydrate isomers results from replacement of a coordinated group by a solvent molecule in this case it is a water molecule.
Stereo isomers:
Stereo isomers are the isomers that have same molecular formula but differ in spatial arrangement of atoms. Stereo isomers can be sub divided into two groups,
- Optical isomers
- Geometrical isomers
Geometric isomers:
If there is restricted rotation in a molecule there arise geometric isomerisms. Geometric isomers are also known as Cis- trans isomerism.
- If the two atoms locked in same side of the molecule then it is called as cis isomers.
- If the two atoms locked in opposite side of the molecule then it is called as trans isomers.
