catena-Poly[[lead(II)-μ-N'-[1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)ethyl-idene]isonicotino-hydrazidato-κN',O:N] perchlorate]
Abstract:
The Pb(II) atom in the polymeric title compound, {[Pb(C(13)H(11)N(4)O)]ClO(4)}(n), is coordinated by the N'-[1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)ethyl-idene]isonicotinohydrazidate ligand via its O,N,N'-donors and simultaneously bridged by a neighbouring ligand via the pyridin-2-yl N atom. The resultant supra-molecular chain is a zigzag along the a axis. The stereochemistry of the Pb(II) atom is defined by an N(3)OE donor set (E = lone pair of electrons), which results in a Ψ-trigonal-bipyramidal coordination with the O and pyridin-2-yl N atoms in axial positions. The dihedral angle between the pyridine rings of the ligand is 6.3 (3)°. The supra-molecular cationic chains are linked into a three-dimensional array via secondary Pb⋯O [3.133 (6) and 3.28 (7) Å] and Pb⋯N [3.028 (4) Å] inter-actions. Weak C-H⋯O inter-actions and aromatic π-π stacking [centroid-centroid separation = 3.693 (2) Å] also occur in the crystal.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
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...
