Abstract:
New three-dimensional spin crossover (SCO) coordination polymers systematically constructed by the novel building unit [AgI 2(CN)3], FeII(3-Br-5-CH3pyridine)2[AgI 2(CN)3][AgI(CN)2] (1), FeII(3-Br-5-Clpyridine)2[AgI 2(CN)3][AgI(CN)2] (2), and FeII(3,5-Brpyridine)2[AgI 2(CN)3][AgI(CN)2] (3), have been synthesized and characterized. The bismonodentate binuclear [Ag2(CN)3]- and mononuclear [AgI(CN)2]- units and FeII atoms assemble to form a 3D network structure. The structures of 1-3 are crystallographically identical, which made up the triply interpenetration combined with complicated intermolecular interactions including Ag···Ag, Ag···X (pyridine substituents) and π-stacking interactions. Magnetic and differential scanning calorimetry studies were performed for 1-3. These compounds display a similar SCO behavior, while the critical temperatures (T c) are shifted by the substituent effect. Due to the identical structures of 1-3, the order of T c clearly corresponds with the Hammett constant.

Coordination Number and Geometry
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...

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
