Bis(4-amino-benzene-sulfonato-κO)bis-(propane-1,3-diamine-κN,N')copper(II) dihydrate
Abstract:
In the title compound, [Cu(C(3)H(10)N(2))(2)(C(6)H(6)NO(3)S)(2)]·2H(2)O, the Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion center and is hexa-coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,3-diamino-propane ligands and two O atoms from two 4-amino-benzene-sulfonate ligands in a trans arrangement, displaying a distorted and axially elongated octa-hedral coordination geometry, with the O atoms at the axial positions. A three-dimensional network is formed in the crystal structure through O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N 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...
