Role of nitro-substituent in pseudo-polymorphism of metal carboxylato complexes of copper, zinc and in synthesis and manganese

The consequence of nitro-group attached to aromatic ring of 2-nitrobenzoato complexes of copper(II) on pseudo-polymorphism and in synthesis of metal carboxylato complexes is demonstrated and the results are compared with analogous first row transition metal carboxylato complexes.
