Abstract:
The complexes formed between thiazole and carbon dioxide were studied to probe the non-covalent bonding properties between carbon dioxide and a heteroaromatic ring. The rotational spectra of the thiazole-CO2 complex were analyzed using a supersonic jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer in conjunction with theoretical calculations. A rotational spectrum corresponding to the global minimum of the thiazole-CO2 complex was identified. The observed structure of the complex is stabilized by a C⋯N tetrel-bond, with additional stability provided by a C-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The computational analysis of the thiazole-(CO2)2 and thiazole-(CO2)3 complexes demonstrated the notable impact of C⋯N interactions on aggregation, with the significance of interactions between CO2 molecules increasing with the number of CO2 molecules present. NCI analysis, NBO analysis, and SAPT analysis were utilized to elucidate the properties of non-covalent interactions between thiazole and CO2, as well as those among CO2 molecules.

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,...
