Abstract:
In the title compound, [Ni(C15H8O7S)(H2O)4].C3H7NO.H2O, the NiII cation is chelated by a 7-hydroxy-5-oxidoflavone-6-sulfonate ligand through one oxide and one carbonyl O atom, and the sixfold coordination is completed by four aqua ligands. Individual molecules are linked into hydrogen-bonded dimers by way of five pairs of O-H...O hydrogen bonds. These dimers, in turn, determine a three-dimensional supramolecular arrangement through a variety of interdimeric interactions, such as O-H...O, C-H...O and pi-pi stacking.

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,...
