Abstract:
In the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C7H11N2 (+)·C7H6NO2 (-)·2H2O, the cation is protonated at the pyridine N atom and the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the CO2 (-) group in the anion is 8.5 (2)°. In the crystal, the cation forms an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond to the anion and the anion forms two N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to adjacent water mol-ecules. Both water mol-ecules form two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to carboxyl-ate O atoms. In combination, these hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network and two weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

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...

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...
