Abstract:
Monocationic acetamidate-bridged dinuclear units are two-dimensionally connected by axially coordinating group 6 oxometallate ions in the structures [{M2(acam)4}2(M'O4)] (M = Rh, Ru; M' = Cr, Mo, W; Hacam = acetamide). In these sheet structures, dinuclear units are connected to each other by NH...O hydrogen bonds. The sheets are also connected with NH...O hydrogen bonds. Amidate-bridged dirhodium units that have bulkier alkyl groups reacted with CrO4(2-) or MoO4(2-) give three-dimensional diamondoid structures [{Rh2(pram)4}2(CrO4)] · 1.08H2O, [{Rh2(pram)4}2(MoO4)] · 2.44H2O and [{Rh2(buam)4}2(MoO4)] (Hpram = propionamide; Hbuam = butyramide). In these structures the NH group of the amidate ligands hydrogen bonds with O atoms in metallate ions.

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...
Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
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...
