Tetra-kis[μ-1,3-bis-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzene-κ(2)N:N']tris-ilver(I) tris-(hexa-fluoridophosphate)
Abstract:
In the title compound, [Ag(3)(C(12)H(12)N(2)O(2))(4)](PF(6))(3), one Ag(I) ion, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four N atoms from four 1,3-bis-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzene (L) ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry and the other Ag(I) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two L ligands in a bent arrangement [N-Ag-N = 169.03 (17)°]. Two L ligands adopt a syn conformation, while the other two adopt an anti conformation. They bridge adjacent Ag(I) ions, forming a trinuclear complex. One of the PF(6) (-) anions is half-occupied, with the P atom located on a twofold rotation axis. The PF(6) (-) anions link the complex mol-ecules via Ag⋯F inter-actions [2.80 (2) and 2.85 (2) Å] into a polymeric chain along [100].

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,...
