Here we discuss two topics the relationship between octahedral and tetrahedral ligand field splitting parameters, and the pressure-dependence of the octahedral parameter a common feature of these is the use of the AOM to determine the variation of orbital splittings with the intemuclear distance. 

For d orbitals placed in tetrahedral coordination, the t2 level contains the dyz, dxy, and dxz orbitals modified by the tetrahedral ligand field and the e level contains the d 2 and d 2-j2 orbitals. Figure 6 illustrates how the energy levels in tetrahedral coordination are inverted relative to those in octahedral coordination (Figure 6).

Examination of the appropriate figures shows that the same equation arises, with the same solution meeting the requirements, for all the F ground term cases in both octahedral and tetrahedral ligand fields. 

Both axial and rhombic distortions of a tetrahedral ligand field are necessary to cause the energy-level scheme shown above. 

The tetrahedral ligand symmetry of this model is distorted by the difference in character between the labile and cysteinyl sulfur atoms and by the position of the iron atoms themselves. 

Phosphorus atoms in ylides largely retain the tetrahedral ligand geometry of the phosphonium cation precursor, but the bond to the ylene-ylide carbon atom is shortened, indicating an increase in bond order. 

Fig. 4. ORTEP drawing (50% probability level) of Ba(N(SiMe3)2 )2(THF)2 showing the distorted tetrahedral ligand geometry around the barium atom. The Ba—N and Ba—O bond distances have average values of 2.592(6) and 2.731(20) A, respectively, and the O-Ba-O, O-Ba-N, and N-Ba-N bond angles have a range of 91.44(2)—128.54(21)°, respectively.

The green complex SmCp DME has been synthesized from SmCl2 and NaCp in DME and characterized as monomeric with a pseudo tetrahedral ligand disposition [142]. 

The last motif, HCHXYZH, resides 60-90 residues carboxyl-terminal to the third one and, except in the case of those MCOs that are type 1 membrane proteins (with a carboxyl-terminal transmembrane domain), is found within 30-50 residues of the C-terminus. Although there is no pattern to the XYZ in this motif, two features are conserved to either side of it. First, the three residues immediately amino-terminal to the HCH element are typically nonpolar with W as a highly conserved - 3 residue. Second, the residue in the -I- 5 position relative to the carboxyl-terminal H is either M or L/F in >90% of MCO sequences. The significance of this second conserved feature is that the sulfide -S- of an M at this position occupies a fourth coordination site in the distorted tetrahedral ligand field (alternatively described as trigonal pyramidal) of the type 1 Cu(II) in those proteins with that sequence. In some cases, the limited S Cu CT from this thioether group appears to modulate the redox potential of the coordinated Cu(II).3 -i ...
