SCN− is ambidentate, binding via S (thiocyanato) or N (isothiocyanato), allowing linkage isomerism when replaced or reoriented.

Linkage isomerism occurs with ambidentate ligands like NO₂−, which can bind via N or O. [Co(NH₃)5NO₂]2+ can form [Co(NH₃)5ONO]2+, showing linkage isomerism.

SCN− is ambidentate (S or N binding), while CN− binds only via C. Thus, SCN− can form linkage isomers.
