Abstract:
Heterobimetallic compounds [L(1)OV(V)═O→Fe(metsalophen)(H(2)O)] (1) and [L(2)OV(V)═O→Fe(metsalophen)(H(2)O)]CH(3)CN (2), where H(2)L(1) and H(2)L(2) are tridentate dithiocarbazate-based Schiff base ligands, containing a discrete V(V)-μ-O-Fe(III) angular core have been synthesized for the first time through a targeted synthesis route: confirmation in favor of such a heterobimetallic core structure has come from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

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...

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...
