Abstract:
The title compound, (C(12)H(16)N(2))(2)[PbBr(6)], is an organic-inorganic salt, with two doubly protonated N-(1-naphth-yl)ethyl-enediammonium cations and one octa-hedral hexa-bromidoplumbate(II) anion. The Pb(II) atom is located on a centre of inversion. The crystal structure consists of alternating inorganic and organic layers parallel to the bc plane. Face-to-face aromatic stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.505 (5) Å] occur between parallel naphthalene systems in the organic layers, and N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds between the cations and anions stabilize the crystal structure.

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...
Halogenation of Alkenes
Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
