p-Chlorobenzotrichloride revisited: novel analytical treatments of 2D exchange NQR in molecular crystals
Abstract:
A theoretical treatment of the two-dimensional exchange nuclear quadrupole resonance pulse sequence is presented and applied to the quantitative study of exchange processes in molecular crystals. The theory is successfully tested for the exchange spectra of hindered trichloromethyl groups of p-chlorobenzotrichloride, where the conventional approach without taking into account the off-resonance phenomena has failed. The mixing dynamics by exchange and the expected diagonal- and cross-peak intensities as a function of the mixing time have been derived. It is shown that the off-resonance effects are of crucial importance for the quantitative description of the exchange spectra.

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,...
