Question
What kind of isomerism exists between \[\ce{[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3}\] (violet) and \[\ce{[Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2 . H2O}\] (greyish-green)?
Options
Linkage isomerism
Solvate isomerism
Ionisation isomerism
Coordination isomerism

Solution
Solvate isomerism
Explanation:
This form of isomerism is known as 'hydrate isomerism' in case where water is involved as a solvent. This is similar to ionisation isomerism. Solvate isomers differ by whether or not a solvent molecule is directly bonded to the metal ion or merely present as free solvent molecules in the crystal lattice.
