Tris(ethyl-enediamine)-nickel(II) 1H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxyl-ate 1.67-hydrate
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C(2)H(8)N(2))(3)](C(5)H(2)N(2)O(4))·1.67H(2)O, consists of three [Ni(en)(3)](2+) dications (en is ethyl-enediamine), three [(pzdc)(3)](2-) dianions (pzdc is pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxyl-ate) and five water mol-ecules. In each complex dication, the Ni(II) atom is coordinated by six N atoms from three en ligands forming a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, the ions and water mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by a large number of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

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,...
