Abstract:
The reaction of o-phenyl-enedi-amine (OPD), sodium naphthalene1,5-di-sulfonate (Na2NDS) and nickel sulfate in an ethanol-water mixture yielded the title compound, [Ni(OPD)2(H2O)2]·NDS or [Ni(C6H8N2)2(H2O)2](C10H6O6S2). This salt consists of a complex [Ni(OPD)2(H2O)2]2+ cation with two bidentate OPD ligands and trans aqua ligands, and a non-coordinating NDS2- anion, which is the double-deprotonated form of H2NDS. The NiII atom is situated at a center of inversion and exhibits a slightly tetra-gonally distorted {O2N4} octa-hedral coordination environment, with four shorter equatorial Ni-N bonds [2.0775 (17) and 2.0924 (18) Å] and a longer axial Ni-O bond [2.1381 (17) Å]. The OPD ligand is located about an inversion center and is nearly coplanar with the NiN4 plane [dihedral angle 0.95 (9)°]. In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected by charge-assisted inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions into the tri-periodic network structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (44.1%), O⋯H/H⋯O (34.3%), C⋯H/H⋯C (14.8%) C⋯C (6.5%) (involving the cations) and O⋯H/H⋯O (50%), H⋯H (25%), C⋯H/H⋯C (15.3%), C⋯C (8.2%) (involving the anions) inter-actions.

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,...

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
