Geometry of complexes

The basic ideas concerning the structure and geometry of complex ions presented in this chapter were developed by one of the most gifted individuals in the history of inorganic chemistry,... 

Thus far, we have only considered the angular geometry of complexes variations in bond lengths also pose challenges. For example, the gross inequality of bond lengths in [NiF ] and many copper(ii) and chromium(iii) complexes requires an explanation. Questions of this kind are also addressed in Chapter 7. 

On the basis of the results discussed above and in the Section II, in particular the crystallographic determination of the geometry of complex (4a), one is led to suggest that the most probable structure for both the phosphine-modified and the phosphine-free catalyst are 31a, 31b, and 32. 

Photodimerization of cinnamic acids and its derivatives generally proceeds with high efficiency in the crystal (176), but very inefficiently in fluid phases (177). This low efficiency in the latter phases is apparently due to the rapid deactivation of excited monomers in such phases. However, in systems in which pairs of molecules are constrained so that potentially reactive double bonds are close to one another, the reaction may proceed in reasonable yield even in fluid and disordered states. The major practical application has been for production of photoresists, that is, insoluble photoformed polymers used for image-transfer systems (printed circuits, lithography, etc.) (178). Another application, of more interest here, is the use that has been made of mono- and dicinnamates for asymmetric synthesis (179), in studies of molecular association (180), and in the mapping of the geometry of complex molecules in fluid phases (181). In all of these it is tacitly assumed that there is quasi-topochemical control in other words, that the stereochemistry of the cyclobutane dimer is related to the prereaction geometry of the monomers in the same way as for the solid-state processes. 

The local version of EHCF method was implemented and used for the analysis of the molecular geometries of complexes of iron (II) in works [29, 148,149]. The satisfactory agreement in the description of complexes geometry with different total spins is achieved when the effect of electrostatic field of the metal ion on the ligands is taken into account through the electrostatic polarization of the ligands. Satisfactory estimates of parameters... 

The solution phase geometry of complexes containing diorgano selenide ligands has been found to be amenable to examination by IR and H NMR spectroscopy, and dipole moment measurements.

To find out how free a SiR3 cation would be in contact with inert solvents or even noble gas matrices, we optimized the geometries of complexes of SiH3 with methane, an "inert" aliphatic solvent model, as well as the noble gases. He, Ne, and Ar, and computed the Si chemical shifts. 

The coordination number and geometry of complexes (Table 1) is thought to be dictated by the valency (i.e. oxidation state of the central metal ion also see Section 4.5), the number of electrons possessed by the metal to be shared with ligands, the relative sizes of metal ions and ligands, as well as symmetry considerations. Small metal ions and large ligands favor low-coordination numbers and vice versa. 

The geometries of complexes pairing HCOOH with HF and HCl have been optimized at the SCF level and the results presented in Table 2.36, based on the geometrical parameters described in Fig. 2.14. Note that when in position I, the HX molecule acts as proton donor to the carbonyl oxygen, and as donor to the hydroxyl in site II.
