Bis(N,N-dimethyl-formamide-κO)bis-(1-methyl-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde oximato-κN,O)manganese(III) perchlorate
Abstract:
In the title compound, [Mn(C(5)H(6)N(3)O)(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)]ClO(4), the Mn(III) atom lies on the inversion centre of the centrosymmetric complex cation and has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, formed by two N atoms and two O atoms from two 1-methyl-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde oximate ligands and two O atoms from two dimethyl-formamide ligands. Perchlorate acts as a counterion to balance the charge. The crystal structure of the title compound is stabilized by C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding 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...
