Type of isomerism which exists between $\left[\mathrm{Pd}\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2(\mathrm{SCN})_2\right]$ and $\left[\mathrm{Pd}\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2(\mathrm{NCS})_2\right]$ is :
  1. Linkage isomerism
  2. Coordination isomerism
  3. Ionisation isomerism
  4. Solvate isomerism

Solution

The compound shows linkage isomerism because the ligand in the compound is an ambidenate ligand that can bond at more than one atomic site. i.e., $: \mathrm{NCS}^{-}$and $: \mathrm{SCN}^{-}$
