What type of isomerism is exhibited by coordination compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the interchange of ligands between the cationic and anionic entities?
A. Linkage isomerism
B. Coordination isomerism✓ Correct Answer
C. Ionisation isomerism
D. Solvate isomerism
💡 Solution & Explanation
Coordination isomerism occurs in coordination compounds where both cationic and anionic entities are complex ions, and isomerism arises from the interchange of ligands between these two coordination spheres. Linkage isomerism involves ambidentate ligands rather than an exchange between complex ions.
