Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title 1:1 co-crystal, C10H8N2·C10H10O4, consists of one half-mol-ecule each of 4,4'-bi-pyridine and 1,4-phenyl-enedi-acetic acid: the complete mol-ecules are generated by crystallographic inversion centres. The dihedral angle between the -CO2H group and the benzene ring in the diacid is 73.02 (7)°. In the crystal, the components are linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating [1-2-1] chains of alternating amine and carb-oxy-lic acid mol-ecules. The chains are cross-linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions. This structure was previously incorrectly described as a (C10H10N2)(2+)·(C10H8O4)(2-) mol-ecular salt [Jia et al. (2009 ▸). Acta Cryst. E65, o2490-o2490].

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,...

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...

02:58Crystal 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.
