Abstract:
The title compound, C(28)H(34)N(4)O(2), crystallizes simultaneously as a monoclinic, (Im), and a (twinned) triclinic polymorph, (It), from d(6)-dimethyl sulfoxide. Polymorph (It) (P-1, Z = 1) displays the standard ;ladder' packing for this group of compounds, with neighbouring inversion-symmetric molecules related by translation and connected by hydrogen bonds of the form N-H...O=C. Polymorph (Im) (Cc, Z = 4) has no imposed symmetry; there are three independent hydrogen bonds, one classical N-H...O=C and a bifurcated system with N-H...O=C augmented by a short C-H...O=C interaction. Each molecule is thereby linked to four neighbouring molecules, two lower and two higher, so that a crosslinked three-dimensional pattern is formed rather than the standard ladder.

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...
