Abstract:
In the title complex, [Cu(C(14)H(14)NO(2))(2)], the discrete complex mol-ecules have crystallographic inversion symmetry. The slightly distorted square-planar coordination sphere of the Cu(II) atom comprises two phenolate O atoms and two oxime N atoms from two bidentate-chelate 2-[1-(eth-oxy-imino)-eth-yl]-1-naphtho-late O-ethyl oxime (L(-)) ligands [Cu-O = 1.8919 (17) Å and Cu-N = 1.988 (2) Å]. The two naphthalene ring systems in the mol-ecule are parallel, with a perpendicular inter-planar spacing of 1.473 (2) Å, while each complex unit forms links to four other mol-ecules via inter-molecular methyl C-H⋯π inter-actions, giving an infinite cross-linked layered supra-molecular 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...
Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
