Abstract:
In our efforts to fabricate magnetically frustrated materials, a feasible vertices augmentation method was successfully used to construct a 4-fold interpenetrating three dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF) with rare topology by linking [Fe3(μ3-O)(μ-O2CCH3)6](+) triangular moieties through the pure anti,anti acetate ligands. Strong antiferromagnetic interactions were found to exist between the neighboring Fe(III) ions without long-range magnetic ordering above 2.2 K, indicating the strong geometric spin frustration nature of this MOF.

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.
CFT focuses on...

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
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...
