Abstract:
Three iron metallomacrocycles were synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography. Varying the amide coligand allows for macrocycles containing three, four, or six iron centers. The metallomacrocycles show extended structures in the solid state that are reminiscent of metal-organic framework structures; thus, the adsorbative properties of the complexes in the solid state have been investigated using N2. Based on the data, three metallomacrocyles display classical type II isotherms and pore size distributions synonymous with mesoporous materials.

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...
