Which of the following pairs represents linkage isomersA. `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)][PtCl_(4)]` and `[Pt(NH_(3))_(4)][CuCl_(4)]`B. `[Pd(P Ph_(3))_(2)(NCS)_(2)` and `[Pd(P Ph_(3))_(2)(SCN)_(2)]`C. `[Co(NH_(3))_(5)NO_(3)]SO_(4)` and `[Co(NH_(3))_(5)SO_(4)]NO_(3)`D. `[PtCl_(2)(NH_(3))_(4)]Br_(2)` and `[Pt Br_(2)(NH_(3))_(4)]Cl_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`SCN^(-)` ion can coordinate through the sulphur or nitrogen atom. Such possibilities give rise to linkage isomerism in coordination compounds.
`M larr SCN` Thiocyanato or thiocyanato -S
`M larr NCS` Isothiocyanato or thiocyanato-N
