Abstract:
The crystallographic study of a partially hydrated form of cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin, betaCD) is reported. C(42)H(70)O(35).7.5H(2)O; space group P2(1) with unit cell constants a=15.1667(5), b=10.1850(3), c=20.9694(7)A, beta=110.993(2) degrees ; final discrepancy index R=0.0760 for the 6181 observed reflections and 784 refined parameters. One water molecule is included in the cavity and distributed over two partially occupied positions, the other 6.5 waters distributed over eight positions are located as space-filler between the macrocycles. The crystal structure belongs to the cage-type, like that observed in Form I (betaCD.12H(2)O; Lindner, K; Saenger, W. Carbohydr. Res. 1982, 99, 103-115) and Form II (betaCD.11H(2)O; Betzel, C., et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1984, 106, 7545-7567).

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
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,...
