Tetra-aqua-diimidazole-nickel(II) naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate
Abstract:
The triclinic unit cell of the title compound, [Ni(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](C(10)H(6)O(6)S(2)), contains one centrosymmetric cation and one centrosymmetric anion. In the cation, the Ni(II) ion is six-coordinated by two imidazole ligands [Ni-N = 2.0568 (14) Å] and four water mol-ecules [both independent Ni-O distances are 2.098 (1) Å] in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form an extensive three-dimensional network, which consolidates the crystal packing.

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,...
