Samples of a layered α-Sn (IV) phosphate were partially deuterated by soaking with D2O to yield a mixture of two isotopomers Sn (HPO4) (DPO4).c-H2O and Sn (DPO4)2.c-H2O containing cavity water c-H2O. They were characterized by the 1H, 2H, 31P, and 119Sn MAS NMR experiments including relaxation time measurements. The formation of these isotopomers is proven by the kinetic proton-deuterium cross-polarization MAS NMR experiments giving the cross-polarization rate constant TH-D of 3.2 ms. In agreement with their formulation the 2H MAS NMR spectra of Sn (HPO4) (DPO4).c-H2O and Sn (DPO4)2.c-H2O did not display the other signals besides the DPO4 resonance. The DPO4 groups observed in the temperature-independent 2H MAS NMR spectra show the DQCC value of 184 ± 6 kHz corresponding to hydrogen bonds formed with an O… O distance estimated as ~2.7 Å. Because of reduced dipolar interactions in the deuterated samples, the 1H MAS NMR spectra are well resolved providing signal assignments and the analysis. According to the solid-state NMR data collected for the partially deuterated samples of SnP, the cavity water accepts one hydrogen bond from the P-OH donor group and forms one hydrogen bond with the neighboring phosphate group, while the other water hydrogen is not involved in hydrogen bonding.

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,...
