  2. Coordination number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_number

    The most common coordination number for d-block transition metal complexes is 6. The coordination number does not distinguish the geometry of such complexes, i.e. octahedral vs trigonal prismatic. For transition metal complexes, coordination numbers range from 2 (e.g., Au I in Ph 3 PAuCl) to 9 (e.g., Re VII in [ReH 9] 2−).

  3. Dodecahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    8: Point group: D 2d: Coordination number: 8: μ (Polarity) 0: ... One example of the dodecahedral molecular geometry is the Mo(CN) 4− 8 ion. [2] References

  4. Coordination geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_geometry

    The coordination geometry depends on the number, not the type, of ligands bonded to the metal centre as well as their locations. The number of atoms bonded is the coordination number. The geometrical pattern can be described as a polyhedron where the vertices of the polyhedron are the centres of the coordinating atoms in the ligands. [1]

  5. Square antiprismatic molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_antiprismatic...

    An example of a molecular species with square prismatic geometry (a slightly flattened cube) is octafluoroprotactinate(V), [PaF 8] 3–, as found in its sodium salt, Na 3 PaF 8. [6] While local cubic 8-coordination is common in ionic lattices (e.g., Ca 2+ in CaF 2), and some 8-coordinate actinide complexes are approximately cubic, there are no ...

  6. Pauling's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_rules

    The radius ratio rules are a first approximation which have some success in predicting coordination numbers, but many exceptions do exist. [3] In a set of over 5000 oxides, only 66% of coordination environments agree with Pauling's first rule. Oxides formed with alkali or alkali-earth metal cations that contain multiple cation coordinations are ...

  7. Cyclodextrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclodextrin

    Typical cyclodextrins contain a number of glucose monomers ranging from six to eight units in a ring, creating a cone shape: α (alpha)-cyclodextrin: 6 glucose subunits; β (beta)-cyclodextrin: 7 glucose subunits; γ (gamma)-cyclodextrin: 8 glucose subunits; The largest well-characterized cyclodextrin contains 32 1,4-anhydroglucopyranoside units.

  8. Square planar molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_planar_molecular...

    Structure of cisplatin, an example of a molecule with the square planar coordination geometry. In chemistry, the square planar molecular geometry describes the stereochemistry (spatial arrangement of atoms) that is adopted by certain chemical compounds. As the name suggests, molecules of this geometry have their atoms positioned at the corners.

  9. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    The steric number of a central atom in a molecule is the number of atoms bonded to that central atom, called its coordination number, plus the number of lone pairs of valence electrons on the central atom. [11] In the molecule SF 4, for example, the central sulfur atom has four ligands; the coordination number of sulfur is four. In addition to ...
