One isomer of [PdBr 2 (NH 3 ) 2 ] is unstable with respect to a second

Question:

One isomer of [PdBr2(NH3)2] is unstable with respect to a second isomer, and the isomerization process can be followed by IR spectroscopy. The IR spectrum of the first isomer shows absorptions at 480 and 460 cm−1 assigned to n(PdN) modes. During isomerization, the band at 460 cm−1 gradually disappears and that at 480 cm−1 shifts to 490 cm−1. Rationalize these data.
