Abstract:
The title compound, C22H29F3O5S [systematic name: (3S,8R,9S,10R,13S,14S)-10,13-dimethyl-17-(tri-fluoro-methylsulfon-yloxy)-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15-dodeca-hydro-1H-cyclo-penta-[a]phenanthren-3-yl acetate], contains a fused four-ring steroidal system. Rings A and C adopt a chair conformation, while rings B and D adopt half-chair and envelope (with the fused CH atom as the flap) conformations, respectively. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into layers parallel to the ab plane.

Ionic Crystal Structures
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...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...

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,...
