Abstract:
The title complex, C(14)H(20)O(4)S(8)(+)(.)BF(4)(-), is a charge-transfer complex with typical charges for the donor and anion of +1 and -1, respectively. Two centrosymmetrically related donors form a face-to-face pi-dimer with a strong intermolecular S.S interaction. These pi-dimers stack along the a axis to form a donor column. The structure is extensively hydrogen bonded.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
