####15. The ionisation isomer of $\left[Cr\left(H _2 O\right) _4 Cl\left(NO _2\right)\right] Cl$ is

(a) $\left[Cr\left(H _2 O\right) _4\left(O _2 N\right)\right] Cl _2$

(b) $\left[Cr\left(H _2 O\right) _4 Cl _2\right]\left(NO _2\right)$

(c) $\left[Cr\left(H _2 O\right) _4 Cl(ONO)\right] Cl$

(d) $\left[Cr\left(H _2 O\right) _4 Cl _2\left(NO _2\right)\right] \cdot H _2 O$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 15. $(c, d)$

Solution:

  1. Ionisation isomers are the complexes that produces different ions in solution, i.e. they have ions interchanged inside and outside the coordination sphere.

$\left[Cr\left(H _2 O\right) _4 Cl\left(NO _2\right)\right] Cl$ and $\left[Cr\left(H _2 O\right) _4 Cl _2\right]\left(NO _2\right)$ have different ions inside and outside the coordinate sphere and they are isomers.

Therefore, they are ionisation isomers.
