Abstract:
The molecules of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone, C13H10N4O3, (I), are linked into a three-dimensional framework by a combination of one N-H...N and three C-H...O hydrogen bonds. In the isomeric compound 3-nitrobenzaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone, (II), the molecules are linked into complex sheets by a combination of three hydrogen bonds, one each of the N-H...N, C-H...N and C-H...O types. The molecules of the third isomer, namely 4-nitrobenzaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone, (III), are linked into bilayers by a combination of one N-H...N, one C-H...N and two C-H...O hydrogen bonds. 2,4-Dinitrobenzaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone, (IV), crystallizes as a stoichiometric monohydrate, C13H9N5O5.H2O, and the molecular components are linked into a three-dimensional framework by a combination of O-H...O, O-H...N, N-H...O and three independent C-H...O hydrogen bonds.

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...

Newman Projections
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as conformers.
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
