(ii) Transition metal complexes or coordination compounds can undergo changes in solubility, magnetism or colour as increasing amounts of a solution of a new ligand is added. Find a specific example of such behaviour and explain what is happening in your own language and using illustrations, or pictures and chemical formulae as appropriate.

What are the characters for the operations C2, C4, σd, and σv(xz) respectively, on the LCAO Ψ(L1+L3) – Ψ(L2+L4) in the square planar metal complex ML4? The arrangement of the four ligands is shown in the structure.
palladium complexes containing the thiocyanate anion as a ligand were studied. Initially, the square planar [Pd(AsPh3)2(SCN)2] complex was synthesized and this was isomerized to [Pd(AsPh3)2(NCS)2] at elevated temperatures and these two complexes were characterized by infrared spectroscopy. To prove with absolute certainty that the changes they observed in the infrared spectra were due to the linkage isomerism of the thiocyanate ligands, they also synthesized and characterized [Pd(bipy)(SCN)2] and [Pd(bipy)(NCS)2], as well as [Pd(bipy)2][Pd(SCN)4] a. Why was it important that they used the bipy ligand instead of the AsPh3 ligands in this study? What type of isomerism would it prohibit from occurring? b. What type of isomerism is observed when comparing [Pd(bipy)(SCN)2] and [Pd(bipy)2][Pd(SCN)4]? Please draw both of the complexes as part of the explanation of your answer.
