For each of the following, (i) give the systematic name of the compound and specify the oxidation state of the transition metal, (ii) draw a crystal field energy-level diagram and assign the d electrons to orbitals, (iii) indicate whether the complex is high-spin or low-spin (for dA-d7 complexes), and (iv) specify the number of unpaired electrons. 

Fig. 2 The model of coupled potential energy surfaces used to explain the vibronic spectral features in Re dioxo complexes. Solid and dashed lines represent adiabatic and diabatic surfaces, respectively. The lowest adiabatic surface corresponds to the electronic ground state used to calculate the luminescence spectra. The crystal field energies for all three Ai states are given along the vertical dashed line...

Fig. 5. The excess heat capacity of PrFj, NdF3, DyFj and ErF3 as calculated from the crystal field energies.

The data shown in fig. 10 are not the values reported by Gorbunov et al. (1986) and Tolmach et al. (1987, 1990a, 1990b, 1990c), because they did not extrapolate their measurements to 0 K in all cases. To derive S° (298.15 K) we have assumed that the heat capacity of L11CI3 represents the lattice component, and Am at the lower temperature limit is derived from the results for this compound. The excess contribution at this temperature is calculated from the crystal field energies (see table 5) derived from spectroscopic studies of the ions in transparent host crystals (Dieke et al., 1968 Morrison and Leavitt, 1982 ... 

The heat capacities for the other compounds were derived using the estimation procedure described for the trichlorides, i.e., from the lattice and excess contributions. The former was derived from the enthalpy measurements, the latter from the crystal field energies. As the crystal energies of the tribromides and triiodides are poorly known, we have used the values for the trichlorides to approximate Cexs- The results thus obtained are listed in tables 10 and 11. The calculated data for TmG agree within 2% with the DSC results of Gardner and Preston (1991). 

The lack of auxiliary data such as crystal field energies for the tribromides and triiodides further limits the value of the semi-empirical approach used here to estimate high temperature heat capacities.
