Ionization isomers

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Ionization isomerism occurs when the counter ion in a coordination compound is itself a potential ligand and can displace a ligand that can then become the counter ion.In the given compounds,the $Br^-$ ions are outside the coordination sphere in the first complex,while $Cl^-$ ions are outside in the second.When dissolved in water,they produce different ions: $[Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Br_2 \rightarrow [Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^{2+} + 2Br^-$ and $[Pt(NH_3)_4Br_2]Cl_2 \rightarrow [Pt(NH_3)_4Br_2]^{2+} + 2Cl^-$.Therefore,they are ionization isomers.

$[Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Br_2$ and $[Pt(NH_3)_4Br_2]Cl_2$ are examples of which type of isomerism?
