Odd Configurations in Neutral Nickel (Nil)
Abstract:
Experimental levels of the configurations 3d 94p, 3d 84s4p and 3d 95p of Ni I were compared with corresponding calculated values. The electrostatic interactions between the configurations (3d + 4s)94p as well as between 3d 84s4p and 3d 95p were considered explicitly. For the configurations (3d+4s)94p, 71 experimental levels were fitted by means of 17 free parameters to yield an rms error of 131 cm-1. On filling 83 levels of the configurations 3d 94p + 3d 84s4p + 3d 95p by means of 25 free parameters an rms error of 147 cm-1 was obtained.

Structural 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, SCN− can...
