Stability and spectral properties of the dication Ne

Abstract:
The dication Ne and its stability properties are studied by ab initio methods. Assuming the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and employing multireference configuration interaction techniques, potential energy curves of its low-lying electronic spectrum have been computed and analyzed. In addition to identifying metastable electronic and vibrational states, possible electronic transitions and decay mechanisms are examined. Our results also shed new light on the role of the dication as an excimer system and the interpretation of experimentally observed continua in Ne2 ultraviolet emission spectra.

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
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 the dxy,...
