Abstract:
The title compound [systematic name: 1,10-phenanthrolinium 6-hy-droxy-5-(oxido-imino)-1,3-diazinane-2,4-dione-6-hy-droxy-5-(hy-droxy-imino)-1,3-diazin-ane-2,4-dione-water (1/1/5)], C12H9N2 +·C4H2N3O4 -·C4H3N3O4·5H2O, is a co-crystal salt hydrate comprising 1,10-phenanthrolinium cations, violurate anions, free violuric acid as co-former and five water mol-ecules of crystallization per formula unit. The violurate and the violuric acid residues each form distinct N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded tapes with a common R 2 2(8) hydrogen-bond motif extending parallel to (103). Solvent water mol-ecules connect the tapes to form a tri-periodic hydrogen-bonded network with channels extending parallel to the a-axis direction, which accommodate the N-H⋯Owater hydrogen-bonded 1,10-phenanthrolinium cations. Direct N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the 1,10-phenanthrolinium and violurate ions are not encountered.

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...
