Abstract:
The structures, electron affinities and bond dissociation energies of BrO(4)F/BrO(4)F(-) species have been investigated with five density functional theory (DFT) methods with DZP++ basis sets. The planar F-Br...O(2)...O(2) complexes possess (3)A' electronic state for neutral molecule and (4)A' state for the corresponding anion. Three types of the neutral-anion energy separations are the adiabatic electron affinity (EA(ad)), the vertical electron affinity (EA(vert)), and the vertical detachment energy (VDE). The EA(ad) value predicted by B3LYP method is 4.52 eV. The bond dissociation energies D(e) (BrO(4)F --> BrO(4-m)F + O(m)) (m = 1-4) and D(e) (-) (BrO(4)F(-) --> BrO(4-m)F(-) + O(m) and BrO(4)F(-) --> BrO(4-m)F + O(m) (-)) are predicted. The adiabatic electron affinities (EA(ad)) were predicted to be 4.52 eV for F-Br...O(2)...O(2) ((3)A'<--(4)A') (B3LYP method).

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.

Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
