Abstract:
Two new cesium selenites containing TaO6 or TiO4F2 octahedra, namely, Cs(TaO2)3(SeO3)2 (1) and Cs(TiOF)3(SeO3)2 (2), have been prepared using standard high temperature solid-state method and hydrothermal reaction, respectively. Compound 1 crystallizes in P3̅m1 and features an unusual [(TaO2)3(SeO3)2](-) sandwich-like double layer in which two [Ta(1)O3(SeO3)](3-) layers are bridged by central Ta(2)O6 octahedra via corner-sharing, whereas Cs(TiOF)3(SeO3)2 with a polar space group P63mc features an interesting hexagonal tungsten oxide (HTO) layered topology and presents a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) of about 5 × KDP (KH2PO4), which is much larger than those of A(VO2)3(QO3)2 (A = K, Tl, Rb, Cs, or NH4; Q = Se, Te) with a similar HTO layered structure. Cs(TiOF)3(SeO3)2 is also type-I phase matching. The SHG of above-mentioned HTO materials can be enhanced greatly with the replacement of VO6 octahedra by TiO4F2 octahedra. Furthermore, thermal stabilities, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, infrared spectra, relationship between crystal structure and SHG, and theoretical calculations were also reported.

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...

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...
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...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
