Abstract:
The title compound, {[Zn(C3H3N2)(C3H4N2)2]NO3} n , is a one-dimensional coordination polymer along [01-1] with the Zn(II) atom coordinating to four imidazole/imidazolide rings. The Zn(II) atom has a regular tetra-hedral geometry with the planes of the two monodentate imidazole rings inclined to one another by 87.94 (17)°, while the planes of the bridging imidazolide rings are inclined to one another by 39.06 (17)°. In the crystal, the chains are linked via bifurcated N-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (001). These two-dimensional networks are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a C-H⋯π inter-action, forming a three-dimensional structure.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...

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,...
