Abstract:
The intercalation of hexacyanoferrate(III) in chloride-hydrotalcite was studied as a function of the composition of the equilibrated aqueous phase, the relevant solution variable being the ratio (C(Fe(CN)(6)(3-))(1/3)/C(Cl)-. The isotherm shows that the exchange is markedly nonideal and reveals the segregation of two solid phases of fixed compositions at (C(Fe(CN)(6)(3-))(1/3)/C(Cl)- = 17.1 M(-2/3). This is the first case of solid phase segregation during anion exchange in hydrotalcite systems diagnosed from thermodynamic measurements. In agreement, PXRD patterns of the partially exchanged solids indicate that these phases, with distinct basal spacings, coexist in the range 0.21 < or = x < or = 0.86. The observed behavior is accounted for by classical thermodynamic formalisms of ion exchange. The limitations of other representations commonly used to describe anion exchange in layered double hydroxide systems are stressed. A rationale of the structural changes accompanying the exchange is also offered.

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,...
