Bis(1H-imidazole-κN){2,2'-[propane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato-κO,N,N',O'}iron(III) perchlorate
Abstract:
The title compound, [Fe(C(17)H(16)N(2)O(2))(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)]ClO(4), consists of monomeric [Fe(salmen)(HIm)(2)](+) cations {salmen is the 2,2'-[propane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphen-olate dianion and HIm is 1H-imiazole} and perchlorate anions. In the cation, the Fe(3+) ion is octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from a tetra-dentate salmen anion and two N atoms from two Him mol-ecules. These ligands are coordinated to the iron ion in a direction perpendicular to the [Fe(salmen)](+) coordination plane. The benzene ring planes in the salmen ligands are oriented nearly parallel to one another inter-molecularly [dihedral angle = 6.36 (3)°]. The dihedral angle between the mean planes through the imidazole rings in the cation is 76.9 (2)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a one-dimensional double chain running along [101] and C-H⋯O inter-actions link the double chains into a two-dimensional network, running parallel to the ac plane.

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...
