Abstract:
In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Cd2(C7H4ClO2)4(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)2], the Cd(II) atom is coord-inated by one N atom from one bridging nicotinamide ligand and one O atom from another symmetry-related bridging nicotinamide ligand, four O atoms from two 3-chloro-benzoate ligands and one water mol-ecule in an irregular geometry. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl-ate groups and the adjacent benzene rings are 6.98 (12) and 2.42 (13)°, while the benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 4.33 (6)°. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. π-π inter-actions, indicated by short centroid-centroid distances [3.892 (1) Å between the pyridine rings and 3.683 (1) Å between the benzene rings] further stabilize the structure.

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...
