Pyridinium tetra-kis-(1,1,1-trifluoro-pentane-2,4-dionato)dysprosate
Abstract:
In the anion of the title compound, (C(5)H(6)N)[Dy(C(5)H(4)F(3)O(2))(4)], the central metal ion, Dy(3+), is coordinated by four bidentate 1,1,1-trifluoro-pentane-2,4-dionate (TAA) ligands, forming an approximate square-anti-prismatic configuration. The pyridin-ium cation is connected to the complex ion by an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond and electrostatic inter-actions in the crystal. There are two kinds of disorder in the structure, one involving rotational disorder of a CF(3) group [occupancy ratio 0.560 (15):0.440 (15)] and the other involving an exchange between a CF(3) group and CH(3) group within a given bidentate ligand (occupancy ratio 0.64:0.36).

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,...
