Abstract:
In the title salt, (C5H6N)[ZnCl3(C5H5N)], the Zn2+ atom is four-coordinated by one pyridine N atom and three chloride ligands, forming a slightly distorted tetra-hedral ZnNCl3 environment. In the crystal, the cation and anion are linked by bifurcated N-H⋯(Cl,Cl) and C-H⋯Cl hy-dro-gen bonds, generating a supra-molecular assembly that is further consolidated by π-π stacking inter-actions between aromatic rings. Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H contacts are the dominant contribution to the crystal packing, accounting for 44.1% of the total surface contacts, followed by H⋯H (29.9%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (15.0%) inter-actions.

Ionic 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...
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,...
