Abstract:
Oxidative addition of the electron-rich tetra-methoxy-dibenzo-1,2,5,6-tetrathiocine [(MeO)2C6H2S2]2 to zero-valent group 10 transition metal complexes in the presence of diphenylphosphinoethane (dppe) affords the corresponding dithiolate complexes, [(DMOBD)M(dppe)] (DMOBD = dimethoxybenzenedithiolato, (MeO)2C6H2S2(2-); M = Ni, Pd, Pt) in high yield which were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Whereas the Pd and Pt complexes exhibit two quasi-reversible 1e(-) oxidation processes, the nickel species undergoes a quasi-reversible 1e(-) reduction.

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...
