Nephelauxetic Effect Revisited Nephelauxetic Effect Revisited ANDREI L. TCHOUGRE´ EFF,1,2 RICHARD DRONSKOWSKI2 1Poncelet Laboratory, Independent University of Moscow, Moscow Center for Continous Mathematical Education, Moscow 119991, Russia 2Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, RWTH Aachen, Aachen D-52056, Germany Received 1 October 2008; accepted 3 November 2008 Published online 10 April 2009 in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI 10.1002/qua.21989 ABSTRACT: We readdress the well-known nephelauxetic effect in coordination compounds of transition metal ions and analyze its possible origins presented in the literature. The initial hypothesis was to ascribe the reduction of the effective Racah parameters B and C of the electron–electron interaction in the complexes as compared to their respective free ion values (which is the essence of the nephelauxetic effect) to the expansion of d-orbitals in the complex because of their quantum mechanical mixing with the orbitals of the ligands leading to delocalization. This picture necessarily leads to a rigid positive correlation between the amount of the d-shell splitting controlled by the same delocalization and the amount of the renormalization of the interaction parameters. In fact, such a rigid relation does not exist and the so-called spectrochemical and nephelauxetic series of the ligands composed according to the aforementioned amounts do not coincide in many points. An alternative explanation based not on the delocalization, but on polarization of the ligands had been proposed at the same time as the delocalization based one. Realistic estimates had been obtained on this basis, but the scheme had never been implemented on the atomic scale, which is necessary to enable renormalization of the aforementioned interaction parameters as a “built-in” function of quantum chemical software. The required atomic resolution formulation of the polarization-based model of the nephelauxetic effect is constructed in this work, in which a relation of such an approach to the general problematics of the “next generation” of semiempirical methods of quantum chemistry is also discussed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.

    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.

  • Metal-Ligand Bonding
    CHAPTER 7 Metal-Ligand Bonding: Limitation of Crystal Field Theory The main drawback of the crystal field theory is that it does not consider the covalent character in metal-ligand bonding at all. It treats the metal-ligand interaction in a purely electrostatic framework which is pretty far from reality. All the effects which originate from covalence cannot be explained by this theory. Therefore, the main limitations of crystal field theory can be concluded only after knowing the causes and magnitude of the covalence in the metal-ligand bonds. Evidences for the Covalent Character in Metal–Ligand Bond The crystal field theory considers the metal center as well as surrounding ligands as point charges and assumes that the interaction between them is 100% ionic. However, quite strong experimental evidences have proved that there is some covalent character too which cannot be ignored. Some of those experimental evidences are as follows: 1. The nephelauxetic effect: The electrons present in the partially filled d-orbitals of the metal center repel each other to produce a number of energy levels. The placement of these levels on the energy scale depends upon the arrangement of filled electrons. The energy of these levels can be given in terms of “Racah parameters” B and C (a measure of interelectronic repulsion). The energy difference between same multiplicity states is expressed in B and Dq while between different multiplicity states is given in term of B, Dq and C. It has been observed that the complexation of metal center always results in a decrease in interelectronic repulsion parameters which in turn also advocates a decrease in the repulsion between d-electron density.

Offers little that cannot be covered better by other theories. • Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory Approach using M–L general MOs Excellent quantitative agreement, but less useful in routine qualitative discussions • Ligand Field Theory (LFT) Modified CFT Makes empirical corrections to account for effects of M–L orbital overlap, improving quantitative agreement with observed spectra MO used for most sophisticated and quantitative interpretations LFT used for semi -quantitative interpretations CFT used for everyday qualitative interpretations CFT energies of d orbitals in an Octahedral (O h) Complex • Consider a spherical field equivalent to six electron pairs surrounding a central metal ion, M. • Electron repulsions will perturb the energies of the five degenerate d orbitals , making them rise in energy. • The energies of the t2g orbitals and eg orbitals, however, depend upon their orientation to the six ligand coordination positions in an Oh ligand field. • The eg orbitals have lobes that point at the ligands and so will ascend in energy. • The t2g orbitals have lobes that lie between ligands and so will descend in energy. The energy gap between t 2g and e g levels is designated ∆∆∆o (or 10Dq) • The energy of the eg set rises by +3/5 ∆o (+ 6Dq) while the energy of the t2g set falls by –2/5 ∆o (– 4Dq) resulting in no net energy change for the system.
