Abstract:
In the title compound, [Cu(C(4)H(2)BrO(4))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(4))(2)], the central Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octahedral geometry by four N atoms from two chelating biimidazole mol-ecules in the equatorial plane and two O atoms from two 2-bromo-fumarate ligands in the axial positions. O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional network.

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...
