Abstract:
A first coordination compound of 2-amino-benzoxazole (2AB), namely, bis-(2-amino-benzoxazole-κN 3)bis-(acetato-κ2 O,O')cadmium(II), [Cd(CH3COO)2(2AB)2], has been synthesized from ethanol solutions of Cd(CH3(COO)2 and 2AB. In the monoclinic crystals with the space group C21/c, the cadmium ions coordinate two neutral 2AB mol-ecules in a monodentate fashion through the oxazole N atom, while two acetate ligands are coordinated through the O atoms in a bidentate manner. The coordination polyhedron of the central ion is substanti-ally distorted octa-hedral. There are two relatively strong intra-molecular hydrogen bonds in the complex mol-ecule. Additionally, two inter-molecular hydrogen bonds associate complex mol-ecules into columns running in the [10] and [110] directions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that 45.7% of the inter-molecular inter-actions are from H⋯H contacts, 24.7% are from O⋯H/H⋯O contacts and 18.8% are from C⋯H/H⋯C contacts, while other contributions are from N⋯H/H⋯N and O⋯O contacts.

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...

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
