Aqua-[4-(hy-droxy-imino-meth-yl)pyridine-κN](imino-diacetato-κO,N,O')copper(II)
Abstract:
In the title complex, [Cu(C(4)H(5)NO(4))(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(H(2)O)], conventionally abbreviated Cu(IDA)(4-OXPy)(H(2)O), where IDA is imino-diacetate and 4-OXPy is 4-(hy-droxy-imino-meth-yl)pyridine, the Cu(II) atom exhibits a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry, which is constructed from two O atoms and one N atom from a IDA ligand, one N atom from 4-OXPy ligand and one O atom from water. This mol-ecule looks like a space shuttle, the IDA ligand is its empennage (tail), and the 4-OXPy ligand is its airframe. The complexes are linked into two-dimensional supra-molecular layers parallel to (100) by three pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Two pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds further connect these supra-molecular layers, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.

Coordination Number and Geometry
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

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...
