Abstract:
The title compound, [Ag(C9H6NO)(C9H7NO)], crystallizes as a non-centrosymmetric polymorph. The structure was previously reported by Wu et al. [(2006). Acta Cryst. E62, m281-m282] in the centrosymmetric space group Pbcn. The Ag(I) ion displays a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry defined by two N and two O atoms from a neutral quinolin-8-ol ligand (HQ) and a deprotonated quinolin-8-olate anion (Q(-)). The dihedral angle between the two ligands is 47.0 (1)°. Strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a supra-molecular chain along the a-axis direction.

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...

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox property is crucial in...
