Abstract:
In the title complex, [Cu(C(7)H(4)NO(3)S)(2)(C(2)H(7)NO)(2)], the Cu(II) centre lies on an inversion centre and exhibits octahedral coordination, with the two ethanolamine (Hea) and two saccharinate [sac; anionic 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide] ligands in a trans configuration. The bidentate Hea ligands bridge axial and equatorial positions and the sac anions occupy equatorial sites around the distorted octahedral copper(II) centre [Cu--O = 2.3263 (16), Cu--N(Hea) = 1.9923 (16) and Cu--N(sac) = 2.1776 (16) A].

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
