Abstract:
In the title compound, C22H23NO2S, the inner pyrrolidine ring (A) adopts an envelope conformation with the methine C atom opposite the fused C-N bond as the flap. The thio-pyran ring (C) has a half-chair conformation and its mean plane is inclined to the fused benzene ring by 1.74 (11)°, and by 60.52 (11)° to the mean plane of pyrrolidine ring A. In the outer pyrrolidine ring (B), the C atom opposite the fused C-N bond is disordered [site-occupancy ratio = 0.427 (13):0.573 (13)] and both rings have envelope conformations, with the disordered C atom as the flap. The planes of the phenyl ring and the benzene ring of the thio-chromane unit are inclined to one another by 65.52 (14)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by a pair of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming inversion dimers.

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...
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,...
