Abstract:
In situ tetrazole ligand synthesis leads to a luminescent microporous cadmium-organic framework {[Cd(mu2-Cl)(mu4-5MT)]n (5MT = 5-methyl-1H-tetrazole)} that exhibits a high-sensitivity sensing function with respect to nitrite in both DMF and water.

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,...
