catena-Poly[[[bis-(methanol-κO)lead(II)]-μ-N'-[1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)ethyl-idene]isonicotinohydrazidato-κN',O:N]
Abstract:
The Pb(II) atom in the polymeric title compound, {[Pb(C(13)H(11)N(4)O)(CH(3)OH)(2)]ClO(4)}(n), is coordinated by an N'-[1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)ethyl-idene]isonicotinohydrazidate ligand via O,N,N'-donors and simultaneously bridged by a neighbouring ligand via the isonicotinoyl N atom; two additional sites are occupied by methanol O atoms. The resultant supra-molecular chain is a zigzag along the c axis. The Pb(II) atom is seven-coordinated within an N(3)O(3) donor set and a lone pair of electrons, which defines a Ψ-pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry with the pyridine N and lone pair in axial positions. The supra-molecular chains are linked into the two-dimensional array via inter-molecular Pb⋯N [3.020 (4) Å] inter-actions. Layers stack along the a axis, being connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds formed between the coordinated methanol mol-ecules and perchlorate anions.

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...
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...
