Abstract:
Translational spectroscopy and coincidence detection techniques have been employed to observe the three-body dissociation dynamics resulting from charge exchange between a fast molecular beam of the sym-triazine cation (C(3)N(3)H(3)(+)) and cesium. The energetics and momentum correlation between the three hydrogen cyanide products suggest that dissociation proceeds via two mechanisms that reflect the initial excited states in which sym-triazine is produced. Monte Carlo simulations support a stepwise mechanism resulting from initial excitation into the 3s Rydberg state. Excitation into the valence pi* <-- n manifold was found to proceed via a near-symmetric concerted mechanism, in agreement with recent theoretical studies on the dissociation of sym-triazine.

Crystal 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,...
