Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H12N2O2·H2O, contains a mol-ecule of 1,4,6-trimethyl-1,4-di-hydro-quinoxaline-2,3-dione and a solvent water mol-ecule. Four atoms of the benzene ring are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.706 (7):0.294 (7) ratio while the N-bound methyl groups are rotationally disordered with occupancy ratios of 0.78 (4):0.22 (4) and 0.76 (5):0.24 (5). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into layers lying parallel to (10). The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the packing arrangement are due to H⋯H (51.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (28.6%) inter-actions. The mol-ecular structure calculated by density functional theory is compared with the experimentally determined mol-ecular structure, and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap has been calculated.

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...
02:46Crystal 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,...

02:58Crystal 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.
