Ethyl 2-(4-nitro-benzamido)-benzoate, a non-merohedral twin
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(16)H(14)N(2)O(5), a non-merohedral twin, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 4.0 (9)°. The ethyl group is disordered [0.643 (14) and 0.357 (14) occupancy]. The nitro group is twisted by 16.4 (4)° from the mean plane of the benzene ring and the mean plane of the carbonyl group is twisted from the mean planes of the two benzene rings by 4.5 (0) and 4.7 (9)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions.

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...
Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...

A consequence of chirality is the need for enantiomeric resolution. While this is theoretically possible for all...
