Abstract:
In contrast to the previous refinement from photographic data [Ferrari et al. (1955 ▶). Gazz. Chim. Ital.84, 169-174], the present redetermination of the title compound, caesium hexa-aqua-magnesium arsenate(V), revealed the Cs atom to be on Wyckoff position 4d instead of Wyckoff position 4b of space group F3m. The structure can be derived from the halite structure. The centres of the complex [Mg(OH(2))(6)] octa-hedra and the AsO(4) tetra-hedra (both with 3m symmetry) are on the respective Na and Cl positions. The building units are connected to each other by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The Cs(+) cations (3m symmetry) are located in the voids of this arrangement and exhibit a regular cubocta-hedral 12-coordination to the O atoms of the water mol-ecules. The O atom bonded to As has 2mm site symmetry (Wyckoff position 24f) and the water-mol-ecule O atom has m site symmetry (Wyckoff position 48h).

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...
