    In coordination compound: Coordination isomerism

    Ionic coordination compounds that contain complex cations and anions can exist as isomers if the ligands associated with the two metal atoms are exchanged, as in the pair of compounds, hexaamminecobalt(3+) hexacyanochromate(3–), [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6], and hexaamminechromium(3+) hexacyanocobaltate(3–), [Cr(NH3)6
