2-Amino-4-methyl-pyridinium trifluoro-acetate: a monoclinic polymorph
Abstract:
The title salt, C(6)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(2)F(3)O(2) (-), is a monoclinic polymorph of a previously reported structure [Hemamalini & Fun (2010). Acta Cryst. E66, o781-o782]. In the crystal structure, the cations and anions are linked by two different types of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming cation-anion pairs. These pairs are hydrogen bonded to neighbouring pairs via another N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving an H atom of the NH(2) group and one of the O atoms of the COO(-) group into a chain extended along the b axis.

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Polymorphism, Amorphism and Pseudopolymorphism
Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...
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,...
Polymer Classification: Crystallinity
Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...

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...
