Abstract:
The new polar 3D cadmium molybdotellurite Cd3(MoO4)(TeO3)2 was obtained by means of a high-temperature solid-state method. Cd3(MoO4)(TeO3)2 is a monoclinic crystal system, and it exhibits the polar space group P21 (No. 4). The structure of Cd3(MoO4)(TeO3)2 can be viewed as a complicated 3D architecture that is composed of distorted CdOn (n = 6, 7) polyhedra, TeO3 trigonal pyramids, and MoO4 polyhedra. The compound features the first 3D NCS cadmium molybdotellurite with 1D 4- and 6-MR channels and a polar structure originating from the TeO3 groups, MoO4 groups, and displacements of d10 Cd2+ cations. The results were further confirmed by calculations of the net polarization. The UV-vis spectrum and thermal properties indicate that Cd3(MoO4)(TeO3)2 exhibits a broad transparent region and excellent thermal stability. SHG tests of Cd3(MoO4)(TeO3)2 revealed that its response is approximately the same as that of KH2PO4 at the same grain size between 105 and 150 μm and that it is phase-matchable.

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 the dxy,...

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.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
