Abstract:
In the ionic title compound, [Ni(NO(3))(C(10)H(9)N(3))(2)]NO(3), the central Ni(II) atom exhibits cis-NiN(4)O(2) octahedral coordination with three chelating ligands, viz. one nitrate anion and two di-2-pyridylamine (dpya) molecules. A second nitrate group acts as a counter-ion. The complex cations and the nitrate anions are also linked by N-H...O hydrogen bonds. The compound was prepared in two different reproducible ways: direct synthesis from Ni(NO(3))(2) and dpya yielded systematically twinned crystals (the twinning law is discussed), while single crystals were obtained unexpectedly from the Ni(NO(3))(2)/dpya/maleic acid/NaOH system.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...

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...
