Name the type of isomerism when ambidentate ligands are attched to central metal ion. Give two examples of ambidentate ligands.

Answer» Ligand having more than one different binding position are known as ambidentate ligand. E.g., SCN has two different binding positions S and N. Coordination compound containing ambidentate ligands are considered to show linkage isomerism due to presence of two different binding positions.
e.g., (i) `[CO(NH_(3))_(5) SCN]^(3+)` and
(ii) `[Fe(NH_(3))_(5)(NO_(2))]^(3+)`
