Abstract:
In the title complex, [Zn(2)(C(10)H(7)NO(6))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)](n), the repeat unit is a centrosymmetic tetra-carboxyl-ato-O,O'-bridged dimer in which each Zn(II) atom is five-coordinated by four O atoms from different dianionic 4,6-dimethyl-5-nitro-iso-phthalate ligands [Zn-O = 2.0283 (18)-2.0540 (19) Å] and one N atom from a pyridine mol-ecule [Zn-N = 2.030 (2) Å] in the axial site of a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination sphere. The Zn⋯Zn separation is 2.9750 (6) Å. The complex dimers are extended into a two-dimensional polymeric structure parallel to (100) through bridges provided by the second carboxyl-ate group of the ligand.

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,...
