Abstract:
In the title compound, [Ni(C(16)H(10)N(3)O(3))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], the Ni(II) cation is in a distorted octa-hedral NiN(4)O(2) coordination by two independent bidentate 1-[(4-nitro-phen-yl)diazen-yl]-2-naph-thol-ate anions and two pyridine ligands. C-H⋯O inter-actions between aromatic rings and the O atoms of the nitro substituents build up a two-dimensional supra-molecular arrangement parallel to (100).

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...
