Abstract:
A Watson-Crick type molecular complex of adenine and thymine bases substituted with the stable radical of nitronylnitroxide has been synthesized, which forms a double-chain spin system in the crystal.

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.
