  2. Coordination number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_number

    α-Aluminium has a regular cubic close packed structure, fcc, where each aluminium atom has 12 nearest neighbors, 6 in the same plane and 3 above and below and the coordination polyhedron is a cuboctahedron. α-Iron has a body centered cubic structure where each iron atom has 8 nearest neighbors situated at the corners of a cube.

  3. Coordination geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_geometry

    The coordination geometry of an atom is the geometrical pattern defined by the atoms around the central atom. The term is commonly applied in the field of inorganic chemistry, where diverse structures are observed. The coordination geometry depends on the number, not the type, of ligands bonded to the metal centre as well as their locations.

    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 reported examples of rigorously cubic 8-coordinate molecular species. A number of other rare geometries for 8-coordination are also known. [2]

  6. Linear molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_molecular_geometry

    Linear organic molecules, such as acetylene (HC≡CH), are often described by invoking sp orbital hybridization for their carbon centers. Two sp orbitals According to the VSEPR model (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model), linear geometry occurs at central atoms with two bonded atoms and zero or three lone pairs ( AX 2 or AX 2 E 3 ) in ...

  7. Pauling's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_rules

    For typical ionic solids, the cations are smaller than the anions, and each cation is surrounded by coordinated anions which form a polyhedron.The sum of the ionic radii determines the cation-anion distance, while the cation-anion radius ratio + / (or /) determines the coordination number (C.N.) of the cation, as well as the shape of the coordinated polyhedron of anions.

  9. Metal carbon dioxide complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_carbon_dioxide_complex

    Carbon dioxide binds to metals in only a few ways. The bonding mode depends on the electrophilicity and basicity of the metal centre. [ 2 ] Most common is the η 2 -CO 2 coordination mode as illustrated by Aresta's complex, Ni(CO 2 )( PCy 3 ) 2 , which was the first reported complex of CO 2.
