Abstract:
The title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(21)H(15)N(3))], was obtained from the reaction of ZnCl(2)·4H(2)O with 4'-phenyl-terpyridine (L) and disodium 2,6-dipicolinate. The Zn(2+) cation is ligated by the N atoms of the tridentate L ligand and two chloride anions, forming a ZnN(3)Cl(2) polyhedron with a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. In the crystal, nonclassical C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are observed.

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,...
