[(E)-2-(3,5-Dibromo-2-oxidobenzyl-ideneamino)-3-(4-hydroxy-phen-yl)propionato-κO,N,O'](dimethyl-formamide-κO)copper(I
Abstract:
In the title complex, [Cu(C(16)H(11)Br(2)NO(4))(C(3)H(7)NO)](2), there are two unique mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Each Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the tridentate ligand L(2-) [LH(2) = (E)-2-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene-amino)-2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)acetic acid] and the O atom of a dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule to give a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The two unique mol-ecules form a dimer through weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the dimer, the Cu⋯Cu distance is 3.712 (1) Å. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules form a one-dimensional chain through C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These are further aggregated into a three-dimensional network by O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen 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...
