Abstract:
The Allotrope Foundation (AF) started as a group of pharmaceutical companies, instrument, and software vendors that set out to simplify the exchange of data in the laboratory. After a decade of work, they released products that have found adoption in various companies. Most recently, the Allotrope Simple Model (ASM) was developed to speed up and widen the adoption. As a result, the Foundation has recently added chemical companies and, importantly, is reworking its business model to lower the entry barrier for smaller companies. Here, we present the proceedings from the Allotrope Connect Fall 2023 conference and summarize the technical and organizational developments at the Foundation since 2020.

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,...
