Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C4H12N2 (2+)·2C6H6NO3S(-), consists of half a piperazindiium dication, located about an inversion centre, and a 4-amino-benzene-sulfonate anion. The piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework. Within the framework there are C-H⋯π inter-actions and the N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of R 4 (4)(22) and R 3 (4)(13) ring motifs.

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 the dxy,...
