Abstract:
The new two-dimensional coordination polymer, poly[(μ4-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazole-5-thiolato)copper(I)], [Cu(C7H5N4S)]n, has been prepared under solvothermal conditions by reacting CuBr with 1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazole-5-thiol (Hptt) in an acetonitrile and acetone solution. In the crystal structure, each Cu(I) ion is coordinated by two N atoms and two S atoms from four ptt(-) ligands, and each ptt(-) ligand links four Cu(I) ions to form two-dimensional layers which lie parallel to the (100) plane. These layers stack along the [100] direction via van der Waals interactions.

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.
CFT focuses on...
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...
