Abstract:
The title Schiff base compound, C14H10Cl2N2O, features an E configuration about each of the C=N imine bonds. Overall, the mol-ecule is approximately planar with the dihedral angle between the central C2N2 residue (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0371 Å) and the peripheral hy-droxy-benzene and chloro-benzene rings being 4.9 (3) and 7.5 (3)°, respectively. Nevertheless, a small twist is evident about the central N-N bond [the C-N-N-C torsion angle = -172.7 (2)°]. An intra-molecular hy-droxy-O-H⋯N(imine) hydrogen bond closes an S(6) loop. In the crystal, π-π stacking inter-actions between hy-droxy- and chloro-benzene rings [inter-centroid separation = 3.6939 (13) Å] lead to a helical supra-molecular chain propagating along the b-axis direction; the chains pack without directional inter-actions between them. The calculated Hirshfeld surfaces point to the importance of H⋯H and Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl contacts to the overall surface, each contributing approximately 29% of all contacts. However, of these only Cl⋯H contacts occur at separations less than the sum of the van der Waals radii. The aforementioned π-π stacking inter-actions contribute 12.0% to the overall surface contacts. The calculation of the inter-action energies in the crystal indicates significant contributions from the dispersion term.

02:23Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.

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,...
