Abstract:
A couple of enantiomers of novel chiral macrocyclic imines based on R/S-camphor were asymmetrically synthesized. Through the chiral macrocyclic ligands, enantiomers of nickel(II) coordination compounds were obtained. The chirality of the ligand was transferred to the nickel atom upon coordination, leading to predetermined configuration. The chiral ligands and corresponding nickel coordination compounds were characterized by UV, IR, CD, VCD spectra and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The structural and spectroscopic properties were further investigated by DFT calculations.

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...
