Dibromido{2-[(4-bromo-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]pyridine-κN,N'}zinc(II)
Abstract:
In the title complex, [ZnBr(2)(C(12)H(9)BrN(2))], the Zn(II) ion is in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment formed by two imine N atoms of the bis-chelating N-heterocyclic ligand and two Br atoms. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings is 8.04 (17)°.

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...
