Sp?d2 hybrid

To explain this type of structure we have chosen sodiiam chloride. The sodium atom has one valence electron and the chlorine atom, seven electrons. Each atom is surrounded by six neighbors of the other element. Consequently, in classical theory, it is impossible, with the eight available electrons, to build two electron bonds between the sodium and chlorine atoms and still respect the equivalence between the neighboring atoms. The situation is the same for localized molecular orbitals, doubly utilized. In return, it is possible to describe the system by means of four delocalized molecular orbitals, constructed on the s and p orbitals of each chlorine atom, as well as on the sp d2 hybrid orbitals of the neighboring sodium atoms pointing toward the chlorine atom. The delocalized system is constructed from ten atomic orbitals (hybrid or not). This structure is a generalization of the case of where each of two molecular... 

The simplest structure that can be imagined is a network of octahedra, AilF, located in nodes of a bcc lattice and joined by sodium atoms. In fact, at high temperature, cryolithe possesses a cubic structure. The sp d2-hybrid orbitals of sodium point toward orbitals carried by fluorine atoms and pointing from F to A . 

Instead of retaining the sp d2 hybridization, it will adopt the sp d hybridization, which demands a lower energy. The latter hybridization corresponds to a pyramidal arrangement, which demands that the metal atom should be below the four surface halogens to which it is bound. 

Sulfur hexafluoride Oh). Six sulfur-fluorine cr bonds require 2 electrons in the valence shell. Six equivalent bonds require an octahedron and so sulfur wjU be hybridized sp d2 as shown in Fig. 6.lf. 

Fe, Zn,. ..) can be explained in a similar manner. An elementary calculation shows that the axes of the six hybrid orbitals sp d2 of the metal atom, intersect the corresponding lines CO in points P... 

A typical bimodal character of the distribution appears for bond lengths D2, D3 and D7 (Figure 16b,c,g). In the case of D2 and D3 the two frequency maxima at about 1.39 A and 1.46-1.47 A correspond to N—C bond lengths for the sp and sp nitrogen atom hybridization, respectively. The bimodal D7 distribution shows frequency maxima at... 

Where the coordination number is two, linear and triangular configurations of the three atoms are possible, and Kimball s results show that the former case may result from sp or from dp hybridization and the latter case from />2, d2, or ds hybridization. In addition to a a bond between a pair of atoms there may be two rr bonds. The axes of the rr bonds are perpendicular to the axis of the g bond and perpendicular to each other. In the case of the linear configuration, four 7r bonds may be formed, two by p electrons and two by d electrons. In the angular configuration, however, as Kimball points out, the four 7r bonds are not equivalent. If the g bonds are formed by two p electrons (p2 hybridization), then the 7r bonds are of two types ... 

Information about PPV chain motion could be obtained from a vinylene labelled material PPV-d2 [89] the presence of ring motion obscures data about chain motion from measurements of PPV-c/4. The interest here was to understand the ring-flip mechanism and determine whether there might exist a particular kink-propagation mechanism for the sp hybridized chain, analogous to the three-bond motions of vinyl polymers. At ambient temperature PPV-rf2 possesses a static Pake doublet spectrum. Figure 8.7(a) shows the spectrum at 220 "C the linewidth is reduced and there is a large apparent asymmetry parameter [t] = 0.14).
