Abstract:
In the Cu(II) compound catena-poly[[copper(II)-μ-[2-({2-[2-(naphthalen-2-yloxy)-1-oxidoethylidene]hydrazin-1-ylidene}methyl)phenolato]] dimethylformamide monosolvate monohydrate], {[Cu(C19H14N2O3)]·C3H7NO·H2O}n, (I), the Cu(II) cation is O,N,O'-chelated by one ligand and further N,O-chelated by a second ligand, and exhibits a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. The ligand acts as an overall pentadentate bridge between two metal ions, thus forming a novel coordination polymer. In the trinuclear Ni(II) compound diaquabis(1H-imidazole)bis[μ-2-oxido-N'-(1-oxido-2-phenoxyethylidene)benzohydrazidato]trinickel(II) dimethylformamide tetrasolvate, [Ni3(C15H11N2O4)2(C3H4N2)2(H2O)2]·4C3H7NO, (II), the three Ni(II) cations are directly linked by two trans diazine (N-N) bridges and are strictly collinear by symmetry. The central Ni(II) cation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by two water O atoms and is further N,O-chelated by two 2-oxido-N'-(1-oxido-2-phenoxyethylidene)benzohydrazidate(3-) ligands in an elongated octahedral coordination geometry. The two terminal centrosymmetrically related Ni(II) cations are coordinated by an imidazole ligand and O,N,O'-chelated by a hydrazidate ligand in a distorted square-planar coordination geometry. Hydrogen bonds link individual molecules of (II) into a chain along [100].

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...

02:34Structural 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,...

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
