Abstract:
Two salts of 4-[(benzyl-amino)-carbon-yl]-1-methyl-pyridinium (Am) with chloride (C14H15N2O+·Cl-) and bromide (C14H15N2O+·Br-) anions were studied and compared with the iodide salt. AmCl crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n while AmBr and AmI form crystals in the Sohncke space group P212121. Crystals of AmBr are isostructural to those of AmI. The cation and anion are bound by an N-H⋯Hal hydrogen bond. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to compare different types of inter-molecular inter-actions in the three structures under study.

01:10X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
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,...
