The enhancement of this operational temperature relies on a wise choice of the magnetic ion and the coordination environment. However, serendipity, oversimplified theories and chemical intuition have played the main role. In order to establish a powerful framework for statistically driven chemical design, we collected chemical and physical data for lanthanide-based nanomagnets to create a catalogue of over 1400 published experiments, developed an interactive dashboard (SIMDAVIS) to visualise the dataset, and applied inferential statistical analysis to it. We found that the effective energy barrier derived from the Arrhenius equation displays an excellent correlation with the magnetic memory, and that among all chemical families studied, only terbium bis-phthalocyaninato sandwiches and dysprosium metallocenes consistently present magnetic memory up to high temperature, but that there are some promising strategies for improvement.

  • And Cobalt(III): Syntheses, Structures, and Ligand Field Parameters
    Inorg. Chem. 2005, 44, 8459−8468 Homoleptic Trimethylsilylacetylide Complexes of Chromium(III), Iron(II), and Cobalt(III): Syntheses, Structures, and Ligand Field Parameters Louise A. Berben and Jeffrey R. Long* Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of California, Berkeley California 94720-1460 Received September 10, 2005 A straightforward method for synthesizing soluble homoleptic trimethylsilylacetylide complexes of first-row transition metal ions is presented. Reaction of anhydrous CrCl2 with an excess of LiCCSiMe3 in THF at −25 °C affords orange Li3[Cr(CCSiMe3)6]‚6THF (1), while analogous reactions employing M(CF3SO3)2 (M ) Fe or Co) generate pale yellow Li4[Fe(CCSiMe3)6]‚4LiCCSiMe3‚4Et2O(2) and colorless Li3[Co(CCSiMe3)6]‚6THF (3). Slightly modified reaction conditions lead to Li8[Cr2O4(CCSiMe3)6]‚6LiCCSiMe3‚4glyme (4), featuring a bis-µ-oxo-bridged binuclear complex, and Li3[Co(CCSiMe3)5(CCH)]‚LiCF3SO3‚8THF (5). The crystal structures of 1−3 show the trimethylsilyl- acetylide complexes to display an octahedral coordination geometry, with M−C distances of 2.077(3), 1.917(7)− 1.935(7), and 1.908(3) Å for M ) CrIII,FeII, and CoIII, respectively, and nearly linear M−CtC angles. The UV− 3- 4 4 visible absorption spectrum of [Cr(CCSiMe3)6] in hexanes exhibits one spin-allowed d−d transition ( T2g r A1g) 4- 3- and three lower-energy spin-forbidden d−d transitions. The spectra of [Fe(CCSiMe3)6] and [Co(CCSiMe3)6] in acetonitrile display high-intensity charge-transfer bands, which obscure all d−d transitions except for the lowest- 1 1 energy spin-allowed band ( T1g r A1g) of the latter complex.

  • Coordination Chemistry (See Chapter 20, H&S 3Rd Ed.)
    Coordination Chemistry (see Chapter 20, H&S 3rd Ed.) Transition metal elements, particularly ions, have a strong tendency to form compounds with Lewis bases. Why? Lewis base: electron pair donor egs. H2O, NH3 n+ Lewis acid: electron pair acceptor egs. M , BH3 ‘low lying’ empty orbitals: lower in energy than HOMO of Lewis case Lewis acidity enhanced by positive charge so TM ions are good Lewis bases 2+ 3+ familiar examples: AlCl3, BF3 from main group and M , M in TM series Type of bonding in these compounds? ‘coordinative’ or ‘dative’ bonds to form Lewis base ‘adducts’ L→M TM-Lewis base ‘adducts’ are often referred to as (i) TM ‘complexes’ OR (ii) coordination complexes NB: still polar covalent bonds – this just defines where the pair of electrons came from Some more definitions: ligand: molecule or ion that can act as a Lewis base to a metal - egs.

  • Naming Coordination Compounds
    Naming Coordination Compounds Author: Kit Mao Department of Chemistry, Washington University St. Louis, MO 63130 For information or comments on this tutorial, please contact K. Mao at [email protected]. Please click here for a pdf version of this tutorial. A coordination complex is a substance in which a metal atom or ion accepts electrons from (and thus associates with) a group of neutral molecules or anions called ligands. A complex can be an anion, a cation ion, or a neutral molecule. Coordination compounds are neutral substances (i.e. uncharged) in which at least one ion is present as a complex. You will learn more about coordination compounds in the lab lectures for experiment 5 in this course. The coordination compounds are named in the following way. (At the end of this tutorial, there are additional examples that demonstrate how coordination compounds are named.) A. When naming coordination compounds, always name the cation before the anion. This rule holds regardless of whether the complex ion is the cation or the anion. (This is just like naming an ionic compound.) B. In naming the complex ion: 1. Name the ligands first, in alphabetical order, and then name the metal atom or ion. Note: The metal atom or ion is written before the ligands in the chemical formula. 2. The names of some common ligands are listed in Table 1. · Anionic ligands end in “-o.” For anions that end in “-ide”(e.g. chloride, hydroxide), “-ate” (e.g. sulfate, nitrate), and “-ite” (e.g. nirite), change the endings as follows: -ide ® -o; e.g., chloride ® chloro and hydroxide ® hydroxo -ate ® -ato; e.g., sulfate ® sulfato and nitrate ® nitrato -ite ® -ito; e.g., nitrite ® nitrito · For neutral ligands, the common name of the molecule is used (e.g.

    Chapter 1 8 Interpretation of Spectra In the previous chapter the topic of spectral studies on coordination compounds was introduced only briefl y in connection with ligand fi eld theory, and some of the attendant problems that are associ- ated with interpreting the spectra were described. In this chapter, a more complete description will be presented of the process of interpreting spectra of complexes. It is from the analysis of spectra that we obtain information about energies of spectroscopic states in metal ions and the effects produced by different ligands on the d orbitals. However, it is fi rst necessary to know what spectroscopic states are appropriate for various metal ions. The analysis then progresses to how the spectroscopic states for the metal ions are affected by the presence of the ligands and how ligand fi eld parameters are determined for spectral data. 18.1 SPLITTING OF SPECTROSCOPIC STATES As we have seen, an understanding of spin-orbit coupling is necessary to determine the spectroscopic states that exist for various electron confi gurations, d n (see Section 2.6). Because they will be needed frequently in this chapter, the spectroscopic states that result from spin-orbit coupling in d n ions that have degenerate d orbitals are summarized in Table 18.1 . The spectroscopic states shown in Table 18.1 are those that arise for the so-called free or gaseous ion. When a metal ion is surrounded by ligands in a coordination compound, those ligands generate an electrostatic fi eld that removes the degeneracy of the d orbitals. The result is that eg and t 2g subsets of orbitals are produced.

O. Sigel Zürich 2012 Summary iii New strategies for the rapid, straightforward colorimetric detection of cyanide in complex samples with corrin-based chemosensors have been developed. In principle, laboratory equipment is not required. The methods are, therefore, promising for applications by non-expert users for the detection of blood cyanide in emergency situations and for water and food analysis, particularly in tropical countries. Challenges in these situations are posed by the complex sample medium, the low levels of detection and the selectivity of the methods. This thesis presents the first method for the rapid visual detection of blood cyanide using immobilised corrinoids and solid-phase extraction. The result in form of a colour change is obtained within a few minutes using only 1 mL of blood. The semi- quantitative determination of blood cyanide content is achieved by means of a colour chart whereas quantitative determinations are possible by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy or a hand-held spectrophotometer.

Coordinate covalent bonds are a third the metal via one coordination point while a mulitdentate classification. In this type of bond, a lone pair of electrons ligand would coordinate to the metal via two or more from one chemical species is donated to an empty orbital points. Ethylene diamine (NH2CH2CH2NH2) is an example on another chemical species to form the new bond. This of a bidentate ligand because it coordinates to the metal is different from a covalent bond because both electrons through each of the two amine groups (-NH2). come from one atom or molecule but are shared as in a typical covalent bond. Unlike an ionic bond, a coordinate The number of coordination points in a complex is covalent bond does not rely on formal electrostatic referred to as the coordination number. Coordination attraction between a cation and an anion to form. numbers of six and four are the most common and result Ammonia-borane complexes are an example of this type in geometries that are octahedral (6), tetrahedral (4), or of bonding (Figure 1). square planar (4) (Figure 3). Figure 1: Ammonia-borane complexes contain a Figure 3: Common geometries of coordination complexes coordinate covalent bond where the lone pair of with coordination numbers of 6 and 4. electrons on ammonia (NH ) are donated to an empty p 3 Coordination numbers and geometries vary dramatically, orbital on borane (BH ) to give NH BH .
