Tetragonal pyramid

Bromine Pentafluoride. Bromine pentafluoride is a colorless Hquid having the molecular stmeture of a tetragonal pyramid (5). The index of refraction is 1.3529 (33). Infrared spectra (13,34), the uv-absorption spectmm (35), and vapor pressure data (11) are all available. 

The structure of LiTa02F2, as reported by Vlasse et al. [218], is similar to a ReC>3 type structure and consists of triple layers of octahedrons linked together through their vertexes. The layers are perpendicular to the c axis, and each layer is shifted, relative to the layer below, by half a cell in the direction (110). Lithium atoms are situated in the centers of the tetragonal pyramids (coordination number = 5). The other lithium atoms are statistically distributed along with tantalum atoms (coordination number = 6) at a ratio of 1 3. The sequence of the metal atoms in alternating layers is (Ta-Li) - Ta - (Ta-Li). Positions of oxygen and fluorine atoms were not determined. The main interatomic distances are (in A) Ta-(0, F) - 1.845-2.114 Li-(0, F) - 2.087-2.048 (O, F)-(0,F) - 2.717-2.844. 

Transannular interaction via the electron-delocalization mechanism was found, but lessened by 10-15% for the ligand superhyperfine splitting and 30-35% for the hyperfine splitting (62) in the epr spectrum. The crystal structure of [VOS2CNEt2)2] shows that the molecular core has the expected C2V symmetry [V-0 = 159.1(4), V-S = 138.7(2)-241.0(2) pm] (63). Magnetic and spectral data provided evidence for a tetragonal, pyramidal structure (VII) for these complexes. Like many other coordinatively unsaturated, metal... 

Let us examine the properties of molecules where a central atom M is surrounded by five ligands A, B, C, D, E. We assume that the ligands are at the vertices of a trigonal bipyramid. This assumption is adequate for most pentacoordinate complexes but we ougth to mention that the description of stereoisomerization we propose could be applied if another polytopal form—the tetragonal pyramid, for example—was the stable one. The same type of description has already been undertaken for hexacoordinate octaedral complexes . ... 

Pi the Berry step is seen as a double bending of an equatorial and an apical angle. The two apical ligands become equatorial and two equatorial ones go to apical positions. One of the equatorial ligands, the so-called pivot, is on the fourfold axis of the tetragonal pyramidal intermediate state. The connectivity i.e. the number of isomers reached from a given one in one step, is three. 

The coordination polyhedron results when the centers of mutually adjacent coordinated atoms are connected with one another. For every coordination number typical coordination polyhedra exist (Fig. 2.2). In some cases, several coordination polyhedra for a given coordination number differ only slightly, even though this may not be obvious at first glance by minor displacements of atoms one polyhedron may be converted into another. For example, a trigonal bipyramid can be converted into a tetragonal pyramid by displacements of four of the coordinated atoms (Fig. 8.2, p. 71).

For the coordination number 4 three types of polyhedra have to be considered a tetrahedron (distorted), a tetragonal pyramide, and a closely related T-trigonal bipyramide. 

In order to illustrate the general applicability of the methodology we have extended our approach to other large zeolite crystals, such as SAPO-34, SAPO-5 and ZSM-5. Our study on the rhombic SAPO-34 crystals reveals a four-pointed star fluorescence pattern at 445 K, which is transformed into a square-shaped feature at 550 K. This is illustrated in Figure 4a. Confocal fluorescence slices, summarized in Figures 4b-d, recorded at different temperatures show the cubical pattern, which proceed from the exterior of the crystal inwards. Both observations are consistent with a model which involves six components of equal tetragonal pyramids as illustrated in Figure 3b. 

The alternative open form of tbbb bond is found in the alternative 4120 structure, which involves a single B5B1B3 T-bond diagonally spanning the tetragonal pyramid. Figure 3.106 illustrates the t bonds and antibonds found in this case.
