Abstract:
Calibration method of atomic multipole moments (AMMs) is presented with respect to geometries of all-siliceous zeolite models obtained with X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Mulliken atomic charges and AMMs are calculated for all-siliceous types possessing small size elementary unit cells at the hybrid density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP) and general gradient approximation (GGA) Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) levels and then used to fit the dependences versus geometry variables for the Mulliken charges and versus special coordinate for the AMMs. Fitted and exact charges and AMMs are used to compute electrostatic potential (EP) and electric field (EF) for all-siliceous zeolites with CRYSTAL. A possibility of application of the point AMMs to quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics computations or classic simulation of physical adsorption is evaluated. The considered models expand over wide range of structural parameters and could be applied even to amorphous all-siliceous systems.

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,...

Crystal 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.
