Abstract:
The isomeric N-(iodophenyl)nitrobenzamides, C(13)H(9)IN(2)O(3), all form different three-dimensional framework structures. Molecules of N-(2-iodophenyl)-3-nitrobenzamide (II) are linked by a combination of N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds and a two-centre iodo...carbonyl interaction. The supramolecular structure of N-(2-iodophenyl)-4-nitrobenzamide (III) is built from one N-H...O and two C-H...O hydrogen bonds, but short I...O contacts are absent from the structure. In N-(3-iodophenyl)-2-nitrobenzamide (IV), which crystallizes with Z' = 2 in space group P2(1), the structure contains two N-H...O hydrogen bonds, four C-H...O hydrogen bonds, two two-centre iodo...nitro interactions and an aromatic pi...pi stacking interaction. The structure of N-(3-iodophenyl)-3-nitrobenzamide (V) contains one N-H...O hydrogen bond and three C-H...O hydrogen bonds, together with a two-centre iodo...nitro interaction and an aromatic pi...pi stacking interaction, while in N-(3-iodophenyl)-4-nitrobenzamide (VI), the combination of one N-H...O hydrogen bond and two C-H...O hydrogen bonds is augmented not only by a two-centre iodo...nitro interaction and an aromatic pi...pi stacking interaction, but also by a dipolar carbonyl...carbonyl interaction. In the supramolecular structure of N-(4-iodophenyl)-4-nitrobenzamide (IX), which crystallizes with Z' = 2 in space group P\overline 1, there are two N-H...O hydrogen bonds, four C-H...O hydrogen bonds and two three-centre iodo...nitro 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...
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...

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...
Newman Projections
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as conformers.
