[IR study on the thermal decomposition of trinuclear and tetranuclear iron benzoate complexes]
Abstract:
The title complexes shown as [Fe3O(C6H5COO)6(H2O)]Cl x 1.5H2O and [Fe4O2 (C6H5COO)7(bipy)2]ClO4 x 3.5H2O were prepared. Their thermal decomposition process was studied qualitatively and quantitatively by means of thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopic measurement of samples after heating at different temperatures. From the experimental results, the possible thermal decomposition process of the two compounds can be deduced. Additionally, according to the fact that the nu(as) (COO) of the two compounds decreases while the nu(s) (COO) remains unchanged as the heating temperature increases. It can be drawn that the carboxylate coordinative form possible change from bridged to chelate one.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.

02:46Crystal 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,...
