Poly[[aqua-(μ(5)-3,4,5,6-tetra-carb-oxy-cyclo-hexane-1,2-dicarboxyl-ato)strontium] monohydrate]
Abstract:
In the title compound, {[Sr(C(12)H(10)O(12))(H(2)O)]·H(2)O}(n), the Sr(II) ion is coordinated by six O atoms of five symmetry-related 3,4,5,6-tetra-carb-oxy-cyclo-hexane-1,2-dicarboxyl-ate ligands and one water mol-ecule in a slightly distorted monocapped trigonal-prismatic environment. The ligands bridge the Sr(II) ions, forming a two-dimensional structure. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds further connect the structure into a three-dimensional network. The H atoms of two of the carboxyl groups were refined as half-occupancy.

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,...
