Which of the following pairs represents linkage isomers ?
Options
- A[ Cu ( NH ₃ )₄ ] [ Pt Cl ₄ ] and [ Pt ( NH ₃ )₄ ] [ CuCl ₄ ]
- B[ Pd ( PPh ₃ )₂( NCS )₂ ] and [ Pd ( PPh 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 and [ PtBr ₂ ( NH ₃ )₄ ] Cl ₂
Correct answer
B. [ Pd ( PPh ₃ )₂( NCS )₂ ] and [ Pd ( PPh ₃ )₂( SCN )₂ ]
Step-by-step solution
NCS is ambidentate ligand and it can be linked through N (or) S
