Abstract:
It is very helpful to understand the properties of molecules by studying a series of physical and chemical changes in molecules under an external electric field (EEF). Tioxolone is an important bioactive compound for its wide applications in the medical field. In this work, density function theory calculations combined with EEF were used to investigate the structure, spectra and electronic properties of tioxolone. The calculated results indicate that the bond lengths, bond angles, total energy, dipole moment, charge and aromaticity of tioxolone change under EEF. As EEF increases, the energy gap of tioxolone gradually reduces and makes it easier to participate in chemical reactions. Under the effect of EEF, the infrared and UV-Vis spectra show vibrational stark effect, which causes a redshift or blueshift of the frequency. These results help to understand the effect of EEF on structures and electronic properties for tioxolone, which will further provide effective guidance for the various application of tioxolone.

Crystal 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.

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,...
