Trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of

A series of copper(II) complexes with ring-substituted phen-ligands have been synthesized and their molecular structural and electronic structural properties have been investigated.246 Each structure ((280) r = 0.72, (281) r = 0.81, (282) r = 0.88, (283) r = 0.83, and (284) r = 0.68) is characterized by a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement of ligands around copper. 

According to the VSEPR model the T-shaped CIF3 molecule has a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of three bonding electron pairs and two nonbonding electron pairs in the valence shell of the central Cl atom. 

CH2NMe2)2], initially produces the tricyclic compound Ar3Sb5 with a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of five Sb atoms. ... 

These lowest oxidation states can be associated with a coordination number of two and a linear arrangement of the ligands about the central atom. On VSEPR theory these are 10-electron species, with a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of three lone pairs of electrons in equatorial positions and two halogen ligands in axial positions. 

The structure of the [Fe(Et2Dtc)2] 2 complex that was synthesized previously (236, 512) has been determined (354). The iron atoms in the dimer are surrounded by a distorted trigonal bipyramid arrangement of the sulfur donors (Fig. 31). 

FIGURE 3.20 One of the five sp3d hybrid orbitals, and their five directions, that may be formed when d-orbitals are available and we need to reproduce a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of electron pairs. 

SOLUTION According to Example 3.3, SF4 has a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of electron pairs. We can construct five equivalent hybrid orbitals by mixing an s-orbital with three p-orbitals and one d-orbital. The result is five sp3d orbitals. 

The poly(metal)silazanes 62-77 are isolated usually as colorless crystals. They are unstable with respect to water and oxygen and are soluble in nonpolar solvents (with the exception of compound 77), The formulas drawn for 64-67 are merely formal and do not imply that these substances have a considerable ionic character. They are soluble in benzene and are monomo-lecular as found by cryoscopic molecular weight determinations. The H NMR spectra of 64 and 65 (64) demonstrate that the metal atoms are coordinated by methyl groups, the most reasonable structure being depicted in the formulas 64 and 65. The trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement of the N2SiAlM... 

Os5(CO),6 N is found to be 9 for this complex, and the only five-vertex figure with nine edges is a trigonal bipyramid the observed structure has a slightly-distorted trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of Os atoms. 

An X-ray analysis (138) of racemic (fumaric acid)Fe(CO)4 shows a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of the five ligands about the iron atom with the double bond at an equatorial position (63). The complex molecules are hydrogen-bonded through the fumaric acid ligands. Unlike... 

On the basis of simple electron pair repulsion theory the difluoride should be linear, with the fluorine atoms at the poles of a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of electron pairs. The tetrafluoride should be a square planar arrangement of fluorine atoms about the xenon atom, there being a non-bonding electron pair both above and below the plane. The hexafluoride, since it possesses a nonbonding electron pair, should show some deviation from octahedral symmetry. The structural evidence has so far been in accord with all of these expectations. Table 10 contains some of the structural data obtained from X-ray and neutron diffraction studies of the di and tetra-... 

We thus obtain an immediate explanation for the angular shape of CI2O, which is based on a tetrahedral arrangement of four electron pairs in the valency shell of the oxygen atom and for the shape of SF4, which is based on a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of five electron pairs.
