Poly[[diaqua-μ(4)-pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxyl-ato-κN,O:O:O,O:O-strontium(II)] monohydrate]
Abstract:
In the title compound, {[Sr(C(6)H(2)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O}(n), the Sr(II) ions are bridged by the pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxyl-ate ligands with the formation of two-dimensional polymeric layers parallel to the ac plane. Each Sr(II) ion is eight-coordinated by one N and five O atoms from the four ligands and two water mol-ecules. The coordination polyhedron is derived from a penta-gonal bipyramid with an O atom at the apex on one side of the equatorial plane and two O atoms sharing the apical site on the other side. The coordinated and uncoordinated water mol-ecules are involved in O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which consolidate the crystal structure.

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,...
