 Isomerism
Coordination compound which
are having same molecular
formula but different structure or
different orientation of ligands
around central atom are known
as isomers and this phenomenon
is known as isomerism.

During the isomerism, oxidation

state and coordination number of
central atom remains
same(charge on coordination
sphere may get changed).

(1.) Ionisation Isomerism :
Coordination compounds are having
same molecular formula but produce
different ions in the aqueous solution.
Or
The type of isomerism which is due to
the exchange of groups or ions
between the coordination sphere and
the ionisation sphere.

(2.) Hydrate or Solvate Isomerism :
This type of isomerism is arises due to the
change in the position of water(ligand) with
counter anion.
Or
This type of isomerism is due to presence of
different number of water molecules inside a
coordination sphere.

ligands are called as Ligand isomers.

This is not true isomerism because it occurs
between compounds having the same
empirical formula, but different molecular
weights.
