Dichloridobis(4-pyridylmethyl 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxyl-ate-κN)zinc
Abstract:
In the title mol-ecule, [ZnCl(2)(C(11)H(10)N(2)O(2))(2)], the Zn(II) ion, situated on a twofold axis, is in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment formed by two chloride anions and two pyridine N atoms of the two organic ligands. In the pyrrole-2-carboxyl-ate unit, the pyrrole N-H group and the carbonyl group point approximately in the same direction. The dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 54.8 (3)°. The complex mol-ecules are connected into chains extending along [101] by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The chains are further assembled into (-101) layers by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.

02:46Crystal 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,...
