Abstract:
A complete high-order perturbation formula of g factor for cubic 3d2 MX4 clusters was established. In the formula, not only the contributions of the crystal-field (CF) mechanism (which is related to the CF excitations) to the g-shift deltag(=g-gs), but also the contributions of the charge-transfer (CT) mechanism (related to CT excitations) were considered. Using the formula, the g factor of Ba2MgGe27 : Cr4+ was calculated. The result was in agreement with the observed value. It was found that the calculated Agcr due to the charge-transfer mechanism is opposite in sign and about 38% in magnitude, compared with the calculated deltagcF due to the crystal-field mechanism. So, for a high valence 3d(n) ion in crystals, the reasonable explanation of g factor should take into account the contributions of both crystal-field and charge-transfer mechanisms.

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.

02:46Crystal 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,...
