Coordination Isomerism -

This arises by interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in complex 

 

- wherein

For example: \left [ Co\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{6} \right ] \left [ Cr\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ] and \left [ Cr\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{6} \right ] \left [ Co\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ]

 

  Coordination Isomerism arises out of interchange of ligands lectuem cationic and anionic of different metal ions present in complex 

  \left [ Co\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{6} \right ] \left [ Cr\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ] and \left [ Cr\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{6} \right ] \left [ Co\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ]  are  Coordination Isomerism.
