Question
Giving a suitable example for each, explain the following:
  1. Crystal field splitting.
  2. Linkage isomerism.
  3. Ambidentate ligand.

Answer

  1. Crystal field splitting: The splitting of d-orbitals under the influence of approaching ligand is known as crystal field splitting eg for d4, configuration is t2g3eg1 in the presence of weak field ligand.
  2. Linkage isomerism: Linkage isomers are those isomers which have same molecular formula but differ in the linkage of ligand atom to the central atom e.g. 

[Co(NH3)5 NO2]Cl2, [Co(NH3)5 ONO]Cl2.

  1. Ambident ligand: a un identate ligand which can co-ordinate to the central metal atom through more than one co-ordinating bond.e.g. NO2, SCN.
