Formal Charges

40.7K
In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

Ions and Ionic Charges

79.3K
In ordinary chemical reactions, the nucleus — which contains the protons and neutrons of each atom and thus identifies the element — remains unchanged. Electrons, however, can be added to atoms by transfer from other atoms, lost by transfer to other atoms, or shared with other atoms. The transfer and sharing of electrons among atoms govern the chemistry of the elements. During the formation of some compounds, atoms gain or lose electrons to form electrically charged particles called...

Molecular and Ionic Solids

20.2K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Atomic Radii and Effective Nuclear Charge

The elements in groups of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical behavior. This similarity occurs because the members of a group have the same number and distribution of electrons in their valence shells.

Area of Science:

  • Organometallic Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Magnetochemistry

Background:

  • Investigates novel charge-transfer electronic states in 2:1 metal-to-ligand adducts of Ytterbium.
  • Focuses on the impact of varying Ytterbium-Ytterbium separation on magnetic and electronic properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically study the [(f)14-(pi)0-(f)14 --> (f)13-(pi)2-(f)13] electronic state in Ytterbium bimetallic complexes.
  • To determine the effects of increased Yb-Yb separation on magnetic and electronic properties.

Main Methods:

  • Cyclic voltammetry
  • UV-vis-NIR electronic absorption spectroscopy
  • NMR spectroscopy
  • X-ray crystallography
  • Magnetic susceptibility measurements

Main Results:

  • Neutral bimetallic complexes exhibit an [(f)13(pi)2(f)13] ground-state configuration with two paramagnetic Yb(III) centers.
  • Electronic interactions in neutral molecular wires are substantial, exceeding those in analogous transition metal systems.
  • Spectroscopic analysis of dicationic species reveals minimal electronic interaction between metal centers when bridging ligand is electron-deficient.
  • The qtp complex displays antiferromagnetic coupling at approximately 13 K.

Conclusions:

  • The electronic and magnetic properties are strongly influenced by the bridging ligand and Yb-Yb separation.
  • Charge-transfer states play a crucial role in mediating electronic communication between Ytterbium centers.
  • Antiferromagnetic coupling observed in the qtp complex indicates specific spin interactions.
