catena-Poly[[μ-bromido-(μ-hydroxydi-2-pyridylmethano-lato-κN,O:O,N')dicopper(II)(Cu-Cu)]-di-μ-bromido]
Abstract:
The title complex, [Cu(2)Br(3)(C(11)H(9)N(2)O(2))](n), was one of three isolated by slow evaporation of an acetonitrile reaction mixture of CuBr(2) with di-2-pyridyl ketone (1:1 molar ratio). The title complex contains a 2:1 metal-to-ligand ratio of copper(II) with the hydrated form of the ligand, di-2-pyridylmethane-diol. The two copper centers are bridged by a bromide ion and the alk-oxy O atom, and the Cu-Cu distance is 2.9801 (5) Å. The dimeric units are further linked by bromide ions, leading to a two-dimensional extended bridged structure. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

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...
