Abstract:
A crystalline salt comprising two monoprotonated polyamine ligands and one tetra-chloro-zincate(II) anion was prepared, (C24H32N3)2[ZnCl4], and its crystal structure was analyzed and compared with those of structurally related compounds bearing different macrocyclic frameworks and pendant arms. The protonated nitro-gen atoms engaged in intra-molecular hydrogen bonding with other nitro-gen atoms within the macrocyclic ring. In the crystal, the pendant anthracene groups participated in inter-molecular π-π and C-H⋯π inter-actions, contributing to crystal cohesion.

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,...
