Abstract:
Nickle tetrasulfo-phthalocyanine (NiTSPc) and Lead phthalocyanine (PbPc) are introduced respectively into silica gel glass matrix by sol-gel technique. Homogeneously doped composites are produced, and optical limiting examination was carried out. The results show that the change in matrix composition, structure and sol-gel process will influence the chemical micro-environment and excited state physical process of doped metallo phthalocyanine, resulting in the change in composite's optical limiting behaviors.

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.
02:58Crystal 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.
