Abstract:
The title compound, [Mn(C(8)H(7)N(3))(3)](2)[SiMo(12)O(40)]·6H(2)O, consists of an [SiMo(12)O(40)](4-) heteropolyanion, lying on a centre of inversion, and a complex [Mn(C(8)H(7)N(3))(3)](4+) cation. The Mn(II) atom of the cation is hexa-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by six N atoms from three chelating 3-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazole ligands. In the heteropolyanion, the four O atoms of the tetra-hedral SiO(4) group each half-occupy eight sites due to Si lying on the centre of inversion. N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding mediated by the water mol-ecules leads to a consolidation of the structure.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

02:42Ionic 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...
02:46Crystal 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,...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
