Abstract:
The three-dimensional Zn(II) coordination polymer poly[[bis(μ2-benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato){μ4-N(1),N(3),N(5)-tris[(pyridin-3-yl)methyl]benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide}dizinc(II)] monohydrate], {[Zn2(C8H4O4)2(C27H24N6O3)]·H2O}n, is characterized by a rare (4,4,4)-connected (4.6(2).7(2).8)(4.6(2).7(3))(4(2).6(2).7(2)) topology. The tricarboxamide ligand adopts an unprecedented tetradentate coordination mode, with one carboxamide O atom participating in the coordination. The polymer was further characterized by thermogravimetric and solid-state luminescence analysis.

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,...
02:42Ionic 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...
01:28Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the...

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...
