Abstract:
The title complex, [Ca(NO3)2(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)2], crystallizes with an eight-coordinate Ca2+ ion in a distorted trigonal-dodeca-hedral coordination environment. The metal ion is coordinated to two nicotinamide ligands via their carbonyl O atoms, two bidentate nitrate anions and two water mol-ecules. The nicotinamide ligands adopt a nearly trans geometry, while the nitrate anions and aqua ligands are arranged in a pseudo-trans fashion. In the crystal, a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework is constructed through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving water, nitrate, and nicotinamide functional groups, reinforced by offset π-π stacking inter-actions between nearly parallel pyridine rings [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.783 (2) Å]. A Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that the inter-molecular inter-actions are dominated by O⋯H/H⋯O (42.3%) and H⋯H (26.2%) contacts, corresponding to classical hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, respectively.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...

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...

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 unhybridized p...
