Abstract:
Two covalently bonded dimolybdenum units have been assembled with a tetrathioterephthalate dianion (tttp(2-)), yielding the first full S-donor dimetal molecular dyad [Mo(2)(DAniF)(3)](S(2)CC(6)H(4)CS(2))[Mo(2)(DAniF)(3)] (DAniF = N,N'-di-p-anisylformamidinate). This linear molecule has a Mo(2)...Mo(2) separation of 12 A as determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Large potential separations (DeltaE(1/2)) for the successive oxidations of the two dimetal centers and greatly red-shifted metal-to-ligand charge-transfer absorption have been observed as compared to the terephthalate and dithioterephthalate analogues. In addition, further electrochemical oxidations result in a pair of quasi-reversible two-electron redox waves separated by ca. 250 mV.

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,...
¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...
