Abstract:
The crystal structures of four thio-phene-carbohydrazide-pyridine derivatives, viz. N'-[(E)-pyridin-3-yl-methyl-idene]thio-phene-2-carbohydrazide, C11H9N3OS, (I), N'-[(E)-pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene]thio-phene-2-carbohydrazide, C11H9N3OS, (II), N-methyl-N'-[(E)-pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene]thio-phene-2-carbohydrazide, C12H11N3OS, (III) and N'-[(E)-pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene]-2-(thio-phen-2-yl)ethano-hydrazide, C12H11N3OS, (IV) are described. The dihedral angles between the thio-phene ring and the pyridine ring are 21.4 (2), 15.42 (14), 4.97 (8) and 83.52 (13)° for (I)-(IV), respectively. The thio-phene ring in (IV) is disordered over two orientations in a 0.851 (2):0.149 (2) ratio. Key features of the packing include N-H⋯Np (p = pyridine) hydrogen bonds in (I), which generate C(7) chains propagating in the [001] direction; N-H⋯Np links also feature in (II), but in this case they lead to C(6) [001] chains; in (IV), classical amide (C4) N-H⋯O links result in [010] chains; in every case adjacent mol-ecules in the chains are related by 21 screw axes. There are no classical hydrogen bonds in the extended structure of (III). Various weak C-H⋯X (X = O, N, S) inter-actions occur in each structure, but no aromatic π-π stacking is evident. The Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots for (I)-(IV) are compared.

Conformations of Cyclohexane
The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal...

Crystal 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,...
