Abstract:
The title mol-ecular salt, C5H12NO(+)·C12H8N5O9 (-) [common name: 4-methyl-morpholin-4-ium 1,3-dimethyl-5-(2,4,6-tri-nitro-phen-yl)barbiturate], possesses noticeable anti-convulsant and hypnotic activity. In the anion, the 1,3-di-methyl-barbituric acid ring and the symmetrically substituted tri-nitro-phenyl ring, linked via a C-C bond, are not coplanar but subtend an angle of 44.88 (7)°. The six-membered ring of the 4-methyl-morpholin-4-ium cation has a chair conformation. In the crystal, the cation and anion are linked via an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The cation-anion units are linked by a number of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...

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...
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,...
