Abstract:
The title compound, (Z)-N-(fluorophenyl)-2-oxopropanehydrazonoyl chloride, C9H8ClFN2O, was found to form concomitant colour polymorphs upon recrystallization from acetone. Block-shaped pale-orange crystals of form I (space group P21/n, No. 14) and prism-shaped yellow crystals of form II (space group P21/c, No. 14) both belong to the monoclinic crystal system. N-H...O hydrogen bonds resulting in zigzag chains [graph-set descriptor C(6)] are the dominating intermolecular interactions in both crystal forms. The hydrogen-bonded zigzag chains so formed extend by 21 screw symmetry in form I and by c-glide symmetry in form II, and are arranged in layers, which are more corrugated in form II than in form I. The polymorphs are virtually indistinguishable by their calculated densities, packing indices and melting points. Form I sublimes to yield crystals of form II, whereas form II sublimes to afford crystals of the same polymorph with characteristic crystal morphology.

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...
