Abstract:
Metal-Organic Networks (MONs) are made by chemical molecules that contain metal ions and organic ligands. A crystalline porous solid called Metal-Organic Networks (MONs) is made up of a [Formula: see text] metal network of ions held in place by a multidentate ligand. (MONs) can be used for gas storage, purification drug delivery, gas separation, catalysis, and sensing applications. There is enormous potential for effective integration and research of MONs in diverse applications. Molecular descriptors are arithmetic measures that reveal a chemical substance's physical and chemical characteristics in its foundational network in a natural relationship. They demonstrate an important role in theoretical and ecological chemistry, and in the field of medicine. In this research, we calculated various recently discovered molecular descriptors viz. the modified version of second zagreb index, harmonic index, reciprocal randic index, modified version of forgotten topological index, redefined first zagreb topological index, redefined second zagreb topological index and redefined third zagreb topological index for two separate metal-organic networks. The numerical and graphical comparative analysis of these considered molecular descriptors are also performed.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

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.
CFT focuses on...
