Otherwise, its structure allows it to be planar. Even though the molecule will have a structure that allows for it to exist in a planar conformation, there may be some/many that do not persist in a planar …

How can one predict whether a given complex ion will be square planar or tetrahedral when its coordination number is 4 using crystal field theory? Is it possible to theoretically predict this?

Sep 1, 2016 · Why is $\ce { (NH4)2 [CuCl4]}$ square planar complex but $\ce {Cs2 [CuCl4]}$ is tetrahedral even though both have same oxidation number of copper and same ligands?

Jun 20, 2015 · What is the difference between them? I think radial nodes and spherical nodes are the same, and angular and planar nodes are the same. Reference Finally, how many spherical nodes …

May 16, 2020 · It is because of the fact that square planar complexes are formed by much strong ligands with d8-metal cation of 3d- series transition metals cation and 4d or 5d-series transition metal …

Mar 24, 2021 · In cases where a metal ion like, Fe (III), Cr (III), Pt (II) is made to react with a ligand species like oxalate, CN-, CO etc and it forms a complex then, How do we determine whether 6 …

Aug 11, 2024 · Cycloheptatrienyl is the more common example, and perhaps what you meant in your question considering you mention 8 π-electrons. Consider (in the photo below) the carbanion; if this …

May 19, 2019 · Since PPh₃ is strong field ligand and, the famous Wilkinson's catalyst, which also possess this ligand is square planar, then what makes the above complex tetrahedral?

Jul 12, 2017 · The planar coordination is a result of a favourable electronic state. Obviously there will be other interactions at play, but in a first approximation the above is always true.

Jun 25, 2015 · It was mentioned that the neutral cyclooctatetraene molecule $\ce {C8H8}$ is non aromatic and has a tub-shaped conformation, but the dianion $\ce {C8H8^2-}$ is planar but aromatic.
