Solution
The formula for the linkage isomer of [Cr(H2O)5NCS]2+ is [Cr(H2O)5SCN]2+. Linkage isomerism occurs when the same complex ion binds to a central metal through different atoms of a ligand. In this case, the thiocyanate ligand (SCN-) can bind through either the sulfur (S) or the nitrogen (N) atom.
