MHT CET Chemistry question

The complexes \mathrm{[Pt^{II}(NH_3)_4][Pt^{IV}Cl_6]} and \mathrm{[Pt^{IV}(NH_3)_4Cl_2][Pt^{II}Cl_4]} represent the example of

(A)Linkage isomerism
(B)Ligand isomerism
(C)Co-ordination isomerismCorrect
(D)Hydrate isomerism

Answer: (C)

Solution

Both the cation and anion are complex ions and the ligands are interchanged between the two metal centres, which is co-ordination isomerism; linkage isomerism needs an
