Ammine cobalt thiocyanates

As an example of the first kind of outer-sphere complex formation, Werner (44) studied the interaction of thiocyanato complexes of cobalt (Ill)ammines with silver ions. In these complexes nitrogen is bound to the metal, and the sulfur atom in the thiocyanate group is free to complex... 

Photoinduced linkage isomerization of cobalt(III) ammine complexes has also been observed when one of the ligands is ambidentate. These reactions are shown in generalized form in Eq. (2.21). Two such examples that have received attention are the photoinduced isomerization of the thiocyanate and the nitrite ligands [Eqs. (2.22) and (2.23)] ...
