Abstract:
We have studied the Cu(2+) ion doped orotato(nicotinamid)cobalt(II) complex by using EPR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The single crystal is triclinic with the space group P1‾. The unit cell dimensions of the crystal are a=7.2785(4)Å, b=10.2349(5)Å, c=12.7372(6)Å, α=69.297(4)°, β=74.791(4)° and γ=76.995(4)°, with Z=2. We analyzed the EPR spectra of both single crystal and powder of the complex at room temperature. EPR analysis indicates the presence of only one Cu(2+) site. We obtained the spin Hamiltonian parameters from the single crystal data for the complex. The spin Hamiltonian parameters are gx=2.032, gy=2.116, gz=2.319, Ax=28G, Ay=66G, Az=126G. These data indicate that the symmetry of paramagnetic center is rhombic. We constructed the ground state wave function of the Cu(2+) ion.

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.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
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...
