The title compound, [SmI2(C22H28O7)]·0.5C4H10O2 or Sm(dibenzo-21-crown-7)I2·0.5dimethoxyethane, was obtained as a minor product by layering di-meth-oxy-ethane solutions of SmI2 and dibenzo-21-crown-7. The asymmetric unit consists of one Sm(dibenzo-21-crown-7)I2 moiety and half a di-meth-oxy-ethane solvent mol-ecule in the outer sphere. Of the seven oxygen atoms available for coordination in dibenzo-21-crown-7, only six are coordinated, forming a plane of coordination around samarium(II). The remaining oxygen and its adjacent benzene ring 'jack knife' perpendicularly relative to this plane of coordination.

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...

02:34Structural 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...
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,...
02:52Stereoisomerism
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...
