Abstract:
Cycloaddition reaction of an iminophosphorane bearing the Martin ligand with an alkyne gave the first stable 1,2 lambda 5-azaphosphetine, whose structure was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis, and variable temperature NMR spectroscopy revealed the existence of equilibrium with the corresponding alpha-iminoalkylidenephosphorane.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
