    LIGANDS

    The ions or molecules bound to the central atom/ion in the coordination entity
    are called ligands. These may be simple ions such as Cl–, small molecules such
    as H2O or NH3 larger molecules such as H2NCH2CH2NH2 or N(CH2CH2NH2)3
    or even macromolecules, such as proteins
    Structural Isomerism
    a. Ionisation isomerism

    It involves the exchange of


    ions inside and outside the
    coordination sphere.
    These isomers give
    different ions in solution,
    hence it is called
    ionisation isomerism.
    b. Hydrate isomerism

    Hydrate Isomers are the


    type of isomers which
    have similar composition
    but differ in the presence
    of number of water
    molecules as ligands.
    Example :
    [CrCl2(H2O)4]Cl.2H2O.
    [CrCl(H2O)5]Cl2.H2O.
    c. Linkage Isomerism

    Linkage isomerism
    arises in a coordination
    compound containing
    ambidentate ligand. A
    simple example is
    provided by complexes
    containing the
    thiocyanate ligand,
    NCS– , which may bind
    through the nitrogen to
    give M–NCS or through
    sulphur to give M–SCN
    d. Coordination Isomerism

    This type of
    isomerism arises
    from the interchange
    of ligands between
    cationic and anionic
    entities of different
    metal ions present in
    a complex.
    Geometrical
    Isomerism
    Geometric isomers are two or more coordination
    compounds which contain the same number and
    types of atoms, and bonds (i.e., the connectivity
    between atoms is the same), but which have
    different spatial arrangements of the atoms.
    SPECTROCHEMICAL SERIES

    The arrangement of ligands in the increasing order of their field strength is


    called spectrochemical series.
