Abstract:
Structures are reported here for eight further substituted N-aryl-2-chloronicotinamides, 2-ClC(5)H(3)NCONHC(6)H(4)X-4'. When X = H, compound (I) (C(12)H(9)ClN(2)O), the molecules are linked into sheets by N-H...N, C-H...pi(pyridyl) and C-H...pi(arene) hydrogen bonds. For X = CH(3), compound (II) (C(13)H(11)ClN(2)O, triclinic P1 with Z' = 2), the molecules are linked into sheets by N-H...O, C-H...O and C-H...pi(arene) hydrogen bonds. Compound (III), where X = F, crystallizes as a monohydrate (C(12)H(8)ClFN(2)O.H(2)O) and sheets are formed by N-H...O, O-H...O and O-H...N hydrogen bonds and aromatic pi...pi stacking interactions. Crystals of compound (IV), where X = Cl (C(12)H(8)Cl(2)N(2)O, monoclinic P2(1) with Z' = 4) exhibit inversion twinning: the molecules are linked by N-H...O hydrogen bonds into four independent chains, linked in pairs by C-H...pi(arene) hydrogen bonds. When X = Br, compound (V) (C(12)H(8)BrClN(2)O), the molecules are linked into sheets by N-H...O and C-H...N hydrogen bonds, while in compound (VI), where X = I (C(12)H(8)ClIN(2)O), the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by N-H...O and C-H...pi(arene) hydrogen bonds and an iodo...N(pyridyl) interaction. For X = CH(3)O, compound (VII) (C(13)H(11)ClN(2)O(2)), the molecules are linked into chains by a single N-H...O hydrogen bond. Compound (VIII) (C(13)H(8)ClN(3)O, triclinic P1 with Z' = 2), where X = CN, forms a complex three-dimensional framework by N-H...N, C-H...N and C-H...O hydrogen bonds and two independent aromatic pi...pi stacking interactions.

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...
