Abstract:
In the present work, coordination possibilities of the system dapdoH(2)/Ni(2+), being dapdoH(2) = 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime, have been explored, offering as a result a number of unprecedented clusters with a variety of topologies and magnetic behaviors. Depending on the precursors and reaction conditions, several compounds named [Ni(2)(dapdo)(2)] (1), [Ni(3)(OH)(BzO)(3)(dapdo)(dapdoH(2))(H(2)O)] x1.25 H(2)O (2), [Ni(3)(AcO)(4)(dapdoH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)] x H(2)O (3), and [Ni(4)(AcO)(3)(dapdo)(dapdoH)(2)(H(2)O)(3)] x (AcO) x 3 H(2)O (4) were achieved and structurally well-characterized. Dc magnetic measurements were carried out in the 2-300 K range revealing antiferromagnetic interactions for (2-4) compounds and diamagnetic response for the square planar coordinated complex (1).

03:02Colors and Magnetism
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.

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.
CFT focuses on...

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
