Abstract:
In the title compound, [Zr(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(9))(2)Cl]·C(7)H(8), the Zr(IV) atom is coordinated by a Cl atom, a cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) ligand [Zr-centroid (Cp) = 2.199 (3) Å] and two fluorenyl ligands (Fl) [Zr-centroid (Fl) = 2.273 (2) Å and Zr-CH from fluorenyl = 2.355 (2) Å] in a distorted tetra-gonal geometry. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the fluorenyl ring systems and the Cp ring are 36.62 (6)° for the η(1)-coordinated fluorenyl and 52.85 (6)° for the η(5)-coordinated fluorenyl, while the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two fluorenyl ring systems is 76.18 (7)°.

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,...
