Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Complexes) (A) [Co(NH3)5NO2]Cl2[Co(NH_3)_5NO_2]Cl_2 and [Co(NH3)5ONO]Cl2[Co(NH_3)_5ONO]Cl_2 (B) [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6][Cr(NH_3)_6][Co(CN)_6] and [Cr(CN)6][Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)_6][Co(NH_3)_6] (C) [Co(NH3)5(SO4)]Br[Co(NH_3)_5(SO_4)]Br and [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4[Co(NH_3)_5Br]SO_4 (D) [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3[Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3 and [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2H2O[Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2 \cdot H_2O

List-II (Type of isomer) (I) Ionisation isomerism (II) Coordination isomerism (III) Linkage isomerism (IV) Solvate isomerism

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

B

(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)

C

(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

D

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

Step-by-Step Solution

(A) Linkage isomerism arises in a coordination compound containing an ambidentate ligand. In [Co(NH3)5NO2]Cl2[Co(NH_3)_5NO_2]Cl_2 and [Co(NH3)5ONO]Cl2[Co(NH_3)_5ONO]Cl_2, the nitrite ligand binds either through nitrogen or oxygen. (A \rightarrow III) (B) Coordination isomerism arises from the interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in a complex. (B \rightarrow II) (C) Ionisation isomerism arises when the counter ion in a complex salt is itself a potential ligand and can displace a ligand which can then become the counter ion. Here, SO42SO_4^{2-} and BrBr^- interchange. (C \rightarrow I) (D) Solvate (hydrate) isomerism differs by whether or not a solvent (water) molecule is directly bonded to the metal ion or merely present as free solvent molecules in the crystal lattice. (D \rightarrow IV) Therefore, the correct match is (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV).
