Abstract:
This study records the selection of the best combination of geometric optimization and frequency calculation methods of the trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(py)2](FM-190) by using different density functional calculation methods and basis sets. The results show that the CAM-B3LYP/SDD method has the best fit to the experimental data for geometric optimization, while the LSDA/SDD method has better performance in frequency calculation, and the infrared vibration peak is assigned. In addition, the calculated HOMO and LUMO show the energy gap and the internal charge transfer of this complex. The hyperconjugation of the pyridine ring have been explained by NBO analysis.

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.
