“…In addition to complex 1, this arrangement has been observed in the structures of [Zn(3,5-diCl-salo) 2 (bipyam)] (3,5-diCl-saloH = 3,5dichloro-salicylaldehyde; bipyam = 2,2 ′ -bipyridylamine) [27], [Mn(5-NO 2 -salo) 2 (phen)], and [Mn(5-NO 2 -salo) 2 (bipy)] (5-NO 2 -saloH = 5-nitro-salicylaldehyde; bipy = 2,2 ′bipyridine) [61]. The most often case is the arrangement of the phenolato oxygen atoms in trans positions, as found in a series of Zn(II) [26,28,62], Cd(II) [63,64], and Co(II) [65][66][67][68] mononuclear complexes. Quite often found is the trans arrangement of the aldehyde oxygens, as reported in a series of Zn(II) [62], Mn(II) [24,61], Cd(II) [64], and Co(II) [68] complexes.…”
