Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Copper(I) Nitrate π-complex with 1-allylbenzotriazole of Equimolar Composition
Abstract:
The CuNO3 • C6H4N3(C3H5) compound (I) was obtained by alternating current electrochemical synthesis, starting from an ethanol solution containing Cu(NO3)2 • 3H2O and a mixture of 1- and 2-allylbenzotriazole titrated by HNO3 to pH = 4. The C=C bond of one 1-allylbenzotriazole molecule, the nitrogen atom from another ligand moiety, and two oxygen atoms from two nitrate-anions form a trigonal-pyramidal environment of the metal atom. The bridging function of the ligand moiety results in infinite metal-organic chains, interconnected by weak CH…O hydrogen bonds, π-π and π-σ stacking and van der Waals interactions.

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...
