Metal energy level diagram

Schematic energy level diagrams of a metal/polymer/metal structure before and after the layers are in contact are shown in the top two drawings of Figure 11-6. Before contact, the metals and the polymer have relative energies determined by the metal work functions and the electron affinity and ionization potential of the polymer. After contact there is a built-in electric field in the structure due to the different Schottky energy barriers of the asymmetric metal contacts. Capacitance-voltage measurements demonstrate that the metal/polymer/metal structures are fully depleted and therefore the electric field is constant throughout the bulk of the structure [31, 35]. The built-in potential, Vhh i.e. the product of the constant built-in electric field and the layer thickness may be written...

In a nickel-containing enzyme various groups of atoms in the enzyme form a complex with the metal, which was found to be in the +2 oxidation state and to have no unpaired electrons.

The four-orbital model implies that the a- and Soret bands are caused by transitions from the two top filled 7r-orbitals (alu, a2u) to the lowest empty 7r -orbitals (eg) of the porphyrin jr-electron system. Fig. 3 shows these four molecular orbitals (49, 65) and Fig. 4 a schematic energy level diagram with the unperturbed porphyrin levels and the energy of the normal a-band on the left (66). If the metal possesses filled d-orbitals, d,-electron donation from the dxz and dyz (d -) orbitals to the empty eg-ir -orbitals of the porphyrin may occur, thus raising the eg-7r -orbitals and lowering the d -orbitals which have now become bonding (Fig. 4). The consequence is the hypsochromic shift of the a-band observed in the d8 metalloporphyrins (Fig. 2 and Table 3).
