Abstract:
Different carbonyls are formed after CO adsorption at ambient temperature on a Pt-Na-mordenite (Pt-Na-MOR) sample. Pt(3+)(CO)(2) dicarbonyls (nu(s) at 2205 cm(-1) and nu(as) at 2167 cm(-1)) are decomposed without formation of monocarbonyls. The respective mixed-ligand species, Pt(3+)((12)CO)((13)CO), formed after (12)CO-(13)CO coadsorption, display bands at 2192 and 2131 cm(-1), in excellent agreement with the theoretically calculated values. Pt(2+)-CO species absorb at 2145 cm(-1) and are not able to accept a second CO molecule. Pt(+)-CO carbonyls are characterized by a band at 2111 cm(-1). Under CO equilibrium pressure, these species are converted into dicarbonyls (nu(s) at 2135 cm(-1) and nu(as) at 2101 cm(-1)). The respective mixed-ligand species, Pt(+)((12)CO)((13)CO), manifest bands at 2123 and 2069 cm(-1), in good agreement again with the theory. Different carbonyls of metallic platinum are observed below 2100 cm(-)(1). In addition, weakly adsorbed CO was registered as Na(+)-CO complexes (2177 and 2165 cm(-1)) and Na(+)-OC-Na(+) species (2138 cm(-1)). It was found that during desorption of CO platinum was reduced, ultimately to metal. However, heating in a NO + O(2) mixture leads to reoxidation of the metal particles and restoration of the initial state of the sample.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
