Diaqua-bis(N,N-diethyl-nicotinamide-κN)bis-(4-formyl-benzoato-κO)nickel(II)
Abstract:
In the title centrosymmetric mononuclear Ni(II) compound, [Ni(C(8)H(5)O(3))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the central Ni(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms from two 4-formyl-benzoate (FOB) ligands, two O atoms from two water mol-ecules and two N atoms from two diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands. The coordination geometry is slightly distorted octa-hedral, with four O atoms in the equatorial plane and two N atoms in axial positions. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into chains along the a axis by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The structure is further stabilized by π-π inter-actions between the pyridine rings of DENA units, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.668 (2) Å.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...

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...
