Abstract:
Metal oxides have garnered significant attention in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), where a distorted MO6 octahedral unit has a marked impact on their performance. This study introduces the distortion coefficient to quantify the MO6 distortion composed of its volume and shape, and reports the effect of MO6 distortion on the activity and stability in rutile metal oxides for the OER. This provides a fundamental understanding for designing effective MO6 active units for the OER.

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.
