catena-Poly[[[[3-(2-pyrid-yl)-1H-pyra-zole]nickel(II)]-μ-oxalato] sesquihydrate]
Abstract:
In the title compound, {[Ni(C(2)O(4))(C(8)H(7)N(3))]·1.5H(2)O}(n), both unique Ni(II) ions are chelated by an O,O'-bidentate oxalate ion and an N,N'-bidentate 3-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazole mol-ecule. A second, symmetry-generated, oxalate ion completes a distorted cis-NiN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry for both metal centres. The bridging oxalate ions result in two distinct wave-like polymeric chains propagating in [100]. The packing is consolidated by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was found to be an inversion twin.

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,...

Structural 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...
