 Complex (chemistry) Summary
Structure in complex chemistry begins with a focus on "coordination number", the number of ligands attached to the metal (more specifically, the number of σ-type bonds between ligand(s) and the central atom).
Most structures follow the points-on-a-sphere pattern (or, as if the central atom were in the middle of a polyhedron where the corners of that shape are the locations of the ligands), where orbital overlap (between ligand and metal orbitals) and ligand-ligand repulsions tend to lead to certain regular geometries.
Linkage isomerism is only one of several types of structural isomerism in coordination complexes (as well as other classes of chemical compounds).

Sometimes the trans isomer has the higher symmetry and packs more closely into a crystal lattice, increasing the intermolecular forces, and this tends to increase melting points and density but decrease solubility as solvation is not as energetically favourable.
When molecules capable of exhibiting optical isomerism are obtained from natural sources, they usually consist of one of the possible isomers (enantiomers) and on extraction, purification and isolation, they show optical activity (that is rotating the plane of polarised light in a polarimeter tube).
