Abstract:
1-(1-Chloro-eth-yl)-6,7-dimeth-oxy-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-iso-quinoline was synthesized through the reaction of homoveratryl-amine with racemic lactic acid. The formation of two enanti-omers, RR and SS, was detected by performing X-ray diffraction analysis on their chloride salts. The asymmetric unit of the crystal consists of a C13H19ClNO2 + mol-ecular cation and a Cl- anion. Two protonated enanti-omers of the title compound, with RR and SS configurations of the chiral atoms, are connected into hydrogen-bonded dimers bridged by Cl- anions. Weak C-H⋯Cl inter-actions lead to the formation of a chain running along the a-axis direction of the unit cell, which corresponds to the longest dimension (the preferential growth direction) of the needle-shaped monocrystal. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component twin.

02:42Ionic Crystal Structures
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.
CFT focuses on...

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...
