Abstract:
Two structural isomers, 3,6-bis(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine, (I), and 3,5-bis(2-chlorophenyl)-4-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole, (II), both C(14)H(10)Cl(2)N(4), form chain-like structures in the solid state, stabilized by N-H...N and N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds. A contribution from weak interactions to the strong hydrogen-bond network is observed in both structures. The secondary graph sets for intermolecular hydrogen bonds [R(2)(2)(11) for (I) and R(2)(2)(12) for (II)] indicate the similarity between the networks.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
