[(2S)-2-(3,5-Dichloro-2-oxidobenzyl-ideneamino)-3-(4-hydroxy-phen-yl)propionato-κO,N,O'](dimethyl-formamide-κO)copper
Abstract:
In the title complex, [Cu(C(16)H(11)Cl(2)NO(4))(C(3)H(7)NO)] , the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the tridentate ligand L(2-) {LH(2) = (2S)-[2-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)-imino]-3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)propionic acid} and one O atom from a dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule, resulting in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The structure forms a one-dimensional chain through weak coordination bonds [Cu⋯O 3.080 (1), Cu⋯Cl 3.269 (1) Å] and a three-dimensional network through O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

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...
