Bis[μ-N'-(5-bromo-3-meth-oxy-2-oxido-benzyl-idene)-2-hydroxybenzohydra-zidato]bis[(N,N-dimethyl-formamide)-copper(II)]
Abstract:
The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(15)H(11)BrN(2)O(4))(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)], is derived from the reaction of N'-(5-bromo-2-hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-2-hy-droxy-benzohydrazide and copper nitrate in a dimethyl-formamide solution in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The compound can be regarded as a binuclear centrosymmetric complex. In the crystal, the Cu(II) atom is fivefold surrounded and adopts a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond stabilizes the mol-ecular conformation.

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...
