Tris(piperazine-1,4-diium) bis-[hexa-chloridoindate(III)] tetra-hydrate
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(4)H(12)N(2))(3)[InCl(6)](2)·4H(2)O, consists of one and half independent piperazinium cations, an hexa-chloridoindate anion and two mol-ecules of water. The In(III) ion is six-coordinated and forms a quasi-regular octa-hedral arrangement. In the crystal, alternating layers of cations and anions are arranged parallel to (10[Formula: see text]) and are linked with the water mol-ecules via intra- and inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯O and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a complex three-dimensional network. Additional stabilization within the layers is provided by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.

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,...
