Abstract:
The 4d-4f heteronuclear title complex, [AgCe(C(14)H(8)N(2)O(5))(2)(H(2)O)](n), has a three-dimensional framework structure, generated by the carboxyl-ate and pyridyl groups of the 5-(isonicotinamido)-isophthalate (INAIP) ligands bridging the metal ions. The Ce(III) atom is coordinated by eight O atoms from six INAIP ligands and a water mol-ecule in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry, while the Ag(I) atom has a distorted trigonal-planar AgN(2)O geometry. O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.642 (4) and 3.624 (3) Å] stabilize the crystal 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...
