Abstract:
Three titanium coordination polymers, {[Ti(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)]·0.5bipy·2H(2)O}(n)1, {[Ti1(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)]·[Ti2(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)]·bipy·5H(2)O}(n)2 and [Ti(tea)](n)3 (bipy=4,4'-bipyridine, H(3)tea=triethanolamine) were synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-Vis absorption spectra, TG analysis, X-ray single crystal diffraction and surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS). The surface photoelectric properties of titanium coordination polymers were discussed emphatically by the SPS. The results of single crystal diffraction indicate that polymers 1 and 2 possess 1D infinite structure bridged by SO(4)(2-) groups and coordinated water molecules and further connected into supramolecular structures by hydrogen bonds. Polymer 3 possesses 2D infinite structure bridged by weak sub-coordinated Ti-O bonds. The results of SPS show that there are obvious photovoltage responses in the range of 300-500 nm, which indicates that they possess photoelectric conversion ability. The SPS of three titanium polymers were analyzed comparatively. It is found that the valence of central metal ions, coordination micro-environment and kinds of coordination atoms influence the results of the SPS. The SPS is associated with UV-Vis absorption spectra.

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.

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,...
