Bis(4-ethyl-benzoato-κO)bis-(nicotin-amide-κN)zinc(II)
Abstract:
The title Zn(II) complex, [Zn(C(9)H(9)O(2))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)], contains two 4-ethyl-benzoate and two nicotinamide monodentate ligands, leading to a distorted tetrahedral coordination of the Zn(II) ion. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl-ate groups and the adjacent benzene rings are 10.33 (13) and 2.38 (11)°, while opposite pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 68.46 (5) and 81.09 (6)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. C-H⋯O inter-actions also occur as well as two weak C-H⋯π inter-actions involving the benzene rings.

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...
