Abstract:
In the title compound, C10H5BrO3, a brominated 3-formyl-chromone derivative, all atoms are essentially coplanar (r.m.s. = 0.0631 Å for the non-H atoms), with the largest deviation from the least-squares plane [0.215 (3) Å] being for the formyl O atom. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into tapes through C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and these tapes are assembled by stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance between the pyran rings = 3.858 (3) Å] to form supra-molecular layers that stack along the c axis.

Radicals: Electronic Structure and Geometry
Accordingly, the structure of a trivalent radical lies between the geometries of carbocations and carbanions. An sp2-hybridized carbocation is trigonal planar, while an sp3-hybridized carbanion is trigonal pyramidal. Here, the difference in geometry is...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
