(i) What type of isomerism is shown by the complex ?
(ii) Why a solution of is green while a solution of is colourless ? (At. no. of ).
(iii) Write the IUPAC name of the following complex: .
(ii) Why a solution of is green while a solution of is colourless ? (At. no. of ).
(iii) Write the IUPAC name of the following complex: .
Solution:
(i) Complex shows coordination isomerism. This type of isomerism arises from the interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in the complex.
(ii) In is a weak field ligand. So there are unpaired electrons in . In this complex, the electrons from the lower energy level can be excited to the higher energy level. The possibility of - electrons is present. Therefore, is coloured. In , the electrons are all paired as is a strong ligand. So, transition is not possible in . Hence, it is colourless.
(iii) The IUPAC name of is Pentaamminecarbonatocobalt (III) chloride.
