Bis(7-meth-oxy-1-methyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-β-carbolinium) tetra-chloridozincate
Abstract:
In the title compound, (C(13)H(15)N(2)O)(2)[ZnCl(4)], also known as di(harmalinium) tetra-chloridozincate, the Zn(II) atom is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination of the chlorido ligands. In the cation, the meth-oxy and methyl groups are both coplanar with with rings to which they are attached [maximum deviations of 0.232 (4) and 0.259 (4) Å, respectively]. In the crystal, the alkaloid cations and metal complex anions inter-act by way of N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving each Cl atom, resulting in a network structure.

Halogenation of Alkenes
Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.

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,...

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
