MHT CET 2022 Chemistry question

What type of isomerism is exhibited by and ?

(A)Ionization isomerism
(B)Linkage isomerism
(C)Coordination isomerismCorrect
(D)Solvate isomerism

Answer: (C)

Solution

Both compounds consist of a complex cation and a complex anion, and the ligands ( and ) are interchanged between the two metal centres: is on Co in the first and on Cr in the second, while is on Cr in the first and on Co in the second. Such isomerism,
