Coordination geometry square pyramid

Figure 9a, b shows the structures of two vertices of the octahedron. Among the four crystallographically independent outer Cu2+ ions, the Cu5 ion is five-coordinated in square-pyramidal geometry and has an NO4 donor set that con-... 

Partial substitution of halides on bismuth predictably gives alkoxy-bismuth halides, and salts of bismuth anions are obtained by reaction of the alkoxide with an ammonium or phosphonium halide (28). Two isostructural derivatives [Bi2Cl4(thf)2(ju,-OAr)2] (Ar = C6H3Me2-2,6 and C6H2Me3-2,4,6) are composed of dimeric units residing on a C2 axis 8. The bismuth is in a five-coordinate distorted square pyramidal geometry in each case. The apical sites are occupied by terminal... 

All three types of geometry occur for MS02 8 complexes. If it is accepted that if- S02 effectively occupies only one coordination site, the majority of MS02 8 complexes are five-coordinate, either square-pyramidal or trigonal-bipyramidal. The v(SO) frequencies are higher for >7 -planar than for >7 -pyramidal structures the if complexes can be safely assigned, since one of the v(SO) values is much lower than for either fj1-planar or >7 -pyramidal geometries.13... 

In Fig. 1 the energies of the quartet levels in various coordination geometries are shown. Octahedral complexes, five coordinate, either square pyramidal and trigonal... 

On the basis of your answers to Problems 10-6 and 10-7, which geometry, square-pyramidal or trigonal-bipyramidal, is predicted to be more likely for five-coordinate complexes by the angular overlap model Consider both m-donor and combined CT-donor and rr-acceptor ligands. 

Using the nonheme ferrous enzyme metapyrocatechase as an example, although no ligand field transitions with s below 10 M cm are observed in the absorption spectrum, the CD and low temperature MCD spectra (Fig. 10) clearly show two bands one at 11,240 cm and the second at 5220 cm ". From Fig. 8 this allows one to estimate the effective geometry of this active site as a five-coordinate distorted square pyramidal structure. 

The oxides are all ns bridging, while both fiy- and //2-ethoxides are present. Three of the Mn sites are six-eoordinate with distorted octahedral geometries, and two are five-coordinate with square pyramidal geometries. The overall structure is perhaps best described as two Mn6Sb2 square anti-prisms sharing a square face. 

Coordination number 5 also has two predominate geometries, square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, that differ only slightly in energy. In fact, such five-coordinate compounds are often examples offluxional compounds, those that exist in... 

M(NO)(OCOCF3)2(PPh3)2. Both these complexes have 5-coordinate geometries with monodentate carboxylates. The rhodium compound has a square pyramidal structure with bent Rh-N-O (122°) but the iridium compound has a tbp structure with straight equatorial Ir-N—O (178°). The position of i/(N—O) reflects this difference (1800 cm-1 (Ir) and 1665 cm-1 (Rh)). 

Many of the nitrosyls studied are 5-coordinate, and analysis of crystallographic results indicates that, in general, in the trigonal bipyramid structures NO is found in the equatorial position in a linear geometry whereas in a square pyramidal structure, there is a bent M—N—O linkage in an apical position. A further point of interest is that in compounds like Ir(NO)Cl2(PPh3)2, the nitrosyl group bends in the more hindered (P—Ir—P) plane.
