Abstract:
The title complexes of [M(SS)(NN)](M = Zn2+, Cd+; SS = 1,2-dicyano 1,2-ethylene -dithiolate or maleonitriledithiolate; NN = 5-nitro-1,10 phenanthroline) were synthesized. The electronic absorption spectra of complexes [M(SS)(NN)] in DMSO, DMF, acetone and Py were reported. The spectra absorption bands 270-280 nm, 320-350 nm and 350-390 nm are the intraligand pi(b) --> pi* transfer of ligand mnt(2-) and 5-NOz-phen. The spectra absorption band 400-500 nm is intramolecular charge transfer (LL'CT) from a ligand (mnt(2-)) to another ligand (5-NO2- phen) The relation between electronic spectra absorption band and correlative transition in the molecular orbital energy level diagram of the complexes was investigated. The LL'CT band of the title complexes is weaker by comparison with M(SS) (NN) (M = Co2+, Fe2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+). The LL'CT band of [M(SS) (NN)](M = Zn2+, Cd2+) (7b2 to 7b1) is symmetry forbidden.

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,...
02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
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.
