Abstract:
The polymeric linear chain [AuTl(C6Cl5)2] reacts with three terpyridine-type ligands substituted with thiophene groups containing N-donor centres in different relative positions (L1, L2 and L3), leading to the Au(I)/Tl(I) complexes [AuTl(C6Cl5)2(L1)] (1), [{AuTl(C6Cl5)2}2(L2)] (2) and [AuTl(C6Cl5)2(L3)] (3). X-Ray diffraction studies reveal that L1 acts as a chelate, while L2 and L3 act as bridging ligands, resulting in different coordination indexes for the thallium(I) centre. These structural differences strongly influence their optical properties, and while compounds 2 and 3 emit near the limit of the visible range, complex 1 emits in the infrared region. DFT calculations have also been carried out in order to determine the origin of the electronic transitions responsible for their optical properties.

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...

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...
