Bis(4'-chloro-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-κ(3)N,N',N'')ruthenium(II) dichloride dihydrate
Abstract:
In the cation of the title compound, [Ru(C(15)H(10)ClN(3))(2)]Cl(2)·2H(2)O, the metal atom exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry provided by the N atoms of two tridentate terpyridine ligands. The ligands are approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.156 (5) Å] and form a dihedral angle of 87.0 (3)°. In the crystal, the cations, anions and water mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
