Low-lying electronic states and revised thermochemistry of TiCl, TiCl2, and TiCl3
1SRI International, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.
Abstract:
Thermochemical analyses of gaseous equilibrium data involving the species TiCl, TiCl(2), and TiCl(3) were revised with the aid of more recent information on the low-lying electronic states, yielding more reliable values for the enthalpies of formation, Delta(f)H(o)(298), of 40.9, -49.0, and -121.5 kcal mol(-1), all +/-2 kcal mol(-1), for gaseous TiCl, TiCl(2), and TiCl(3), respectively. The new thermochemical data are in good agreement with the results of recent theoretical calculations, but they differ from earlier experimental results involving the reactions of Ti (s), TiCl(2)(s, g), TiCl(3)(s, g) and TiCl(4)(g).

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,...

02:58Crystal 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.

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.
