Conclusion
The study reveals the crystal structure of a lithium complex that features a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry.
Supporting Evidence
- The lithium ion is chelated by a pyridazine-3-carboxylate ligand and two water molecules.
- The coordination geometry of the lithium ion is slightly distorted tetrahedral.
- Hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability of the crystal structure.
Takeaway
The researchers looked at how a lithium ion is held together with a special molecule and water, forming a stable structure.
Methodology
The structure was determined using X-ray crystallography with a four-circle diffractometer.
