Abstract:
The crystal structures of three isomers of (E)-4-chloro-N-{2-[2-(chloro-benzyl-idene)hydrazin-yl]-2-oxoeth-yl}-benzene-sulfonamide, namely, (E)-4-chloro-N-{2-[2-(2-chloro-benzyl-idene)hydrazin-yl]-2-oxoeth-yl}-benzene-sulfonamide (I), (E)-4-chloro-N-{2-[2-(3-chloro-benzyl-idene)hydrazin-yl]-2-oxoeth-yl}-benzene-sul-fon-amide (II) and (E)-4-chloro-N-{2-[2-(4-chloro-benzyl-idene)hydrazin-yl]-2-oxo-eth-yl}-benzene-sulfonamide (III), with the general formula C15H13Cl2N3O3S are described, with the chloro group in ortho, meta and para positions in the benzyl-idene benzene ring. All the three isomeric compounds crystallize in the centrosymmetric triclinic P space group with one mol-ecule each in the asymmetric unit and two mol-ecules in the unit cell. The dihedral angles between the two phenyl rings are 11.09 (14), 53.79 (18) and 72.37 (11)° in (I), (II) and (III), respectively. The central part of the mol-ecule (-C-N-N=C-) is almost linear with C-N-N-C torsion angles of 179.1 (2), -169.5 (3) and 178.5 (2)° for (I), (II) and (III), respectively. In all the three crystals, the mol-ecules form inversion dimers with R 2 2(8) ring motifs, which are further augmented by C-H⋯O inter-actions.

Structures 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...
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...
