Abstract:
Two-dimensional organic-inorganic perovskites have been attracted as candidates for multiferroic materials that exhibit two or more ferroic orders such as ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity, and ferrotoroidicity. Here, we introduce the structure, ferroelastic domains and magnetic properties of the two-dimensional organic-inorganic perovskite [C6H9(CH2)2NH3]2FeCl4 (CHEA-Fe) composed of 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)ethylammonium and FeCl4 2-. CHEA-Fe underwent two ferroelastic phase transitions from tetragonal to orthorhombic at 332 K and to monoclinic at 232 K with decreasing temperature and exhibited ferroelastic domains under polarized light as a consequence of these ferroelastic phase transitions. Magnetization measurements exhibited two magnetization jumps at the transition temperature, which agrees with ferroelastic phase transitions. Furthermore, CHEA-Fe acted as canted antiferromagnetism below T N = 85.7 K. The isothermal magnetization revealed a magnetic hysteresis when the magnetic field was applied along the stacking axis of the layers.

02:46Crystal 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,...

02:58Crystal 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.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
