Coordination isomerism: Ligands are interchanged between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in the complex. The isomers have same molecular formula. For example, in [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6], ammonia ligands are bound to Co and cyano ligands are bound to Cr.
How do you name coordination isomers?
Coordination isomerism occurs in compounds containing complex anionic and cationic parts and can be viewed as the interchange of one or more ligands between the cationic complex ion and the anionic complex ion. For example, [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6] is a coordination isomer with [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6].
What are the rules for naming coordination compounds?
To name a coordination compound, no matter whether the complex ion is the cation or the anion, always name the cation before the anion. (This is just like naming an ionic compound.)
