Abstract:
The effect of the superstoichiometric Ti intercalation on the electronic structure of TiSe2 was studied by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in nonresonant and resonant modes along with the DOS (density of states) calculations. It was shown that the presence of the Ti atoms in the interlayer space leads to the formation of the Ti 3d/Ti 3d hybridized band between the Ti atoms in the regular lattice positions and Ti atoms in the interlayer space. The charge transfer to the conduction band was not observed in this case.

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,...

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.
