Abstract:
The title thia-pyrazino-phanes, 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexa-thia-[9.9](2,6,3,5)-pyrazino-phane, C16H24N2S6, (I), and 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexa-thia-[9.9](2,5,3,6)-pyrazino-phane, C16H24N2S6, (II), are regioisomers; m-bis L1 and p-bis L1, respectively. Both compounds have a central tetra-2,3,5,6-methyl-ene-pyrazine unit with two -S-CH2-CH2-S-CH2-CH2-S- chains, linking the methyl-ene C atoms at positions 2 and 6 and 3 and 5 on the pyrazine ring of I, but linking the methyl-ene C atoms at positions 2 and 5 and 3 and 6 on the pyrazine ring of II. Both compounds crystallize with half a mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The whole mol-ecule of I is generated by inversion symmetry, with the pyrazine ring being located about a center of symmetry. The whole mol-ecule of II is generated by twofold rotation symmetry, with the pyrazine N atoms being located on the twofold rotation axis. In compound I, there are pairs of intra-molecular C-H⋯S contacts present, but none in compound II. In the crystal of I, there are no significant inter-molecular inter-actions present, while in the crystal of II, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming corrugated layers lying parallel the ac plane. The Hirshfeld surfaces and the energy frameworks of the two regioisomers indicate little difference in the inter-atomic contacts, which are dominated by dispersion forces.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
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,...

02:30Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
