Which of the following complexes exhibits linkage isomerism?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: B —
Solution
- Linkage isomerism requires an ambidentate ligand that can bind through different atoms.
- The nitrite ion () can bind through nitrogen or oxygen.
- Among the choices, only contains an ambidentate ligand.
- Hence the answer is (B).
