Abstract:
In the title compound, C15H14N2O5, the benzene rings are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 4.89 (8)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs between the imino and meth-oxy groups. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into supra-molecular chains propagating along the a-axis direction. π-π stacking is observed between parallel benzene rings of neighbouring chains, the centroid-to-centroid distance being 3.6491 (10) Å. Three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface analyses and two-dimensional fingerprint plots have been used to analyse the inter-molecular inter-actions present in the crystal.

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...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
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, SCN− can...
