  • Review Sheet on Determining Term Symbols
    Review Sheet on Determining Term Symbols Term symbols for electronic configurations are useful not only to the spectroscopist but also to the inorganic chemist interested in understanding electronic and magnetic properties of molecules. We will concentrate on the method of Douglas and McDaniel (p. 26ff); however, you may find other treatments equal or superior to the D & M method. Term symbols are a shorthand method used to describe the energy, angular momentum, and spin multiplicity of an atom in any particular state. The general form is a given as Tj where T is a capital letter corresponding to the value of L (the angular momentum quantum number) and may be assigned as S, P, D, F, G, … for |L| = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … respectively. The superscript “a” is called the spin multiplicity and can be evaluated as a = 2S +1 where S is the spin quantum number. The subscript “j” is the numerical value of J, a new quantum number defined as: J = l +S, which corresponds to the total orbital and spin angular momentum of the system. The term symbol 3P is read as triplet – Pee state and indicates that there are two unpaired electrons in a state with maximum orbital angular momentum, L=1. The number of microstates (N) of a system corresponds to the total number of distinct arrangements for “e” number of electrons to be placed in “n” number of possible orbital positions. N = # of microstates = n!/(e!(n-e)!) For a set of p orbitals n = 6 since there are 2 positions in each orbital.

  • States of Oxygen Liquid and Singlet Oxygen Photodynamic Therapy
    Oxygen States of Oxygen As far as allotropes go, oxygen as an element is fairly uninteresting, with ozone (O3, closed-shell and C2v symmetric like SO2) and O2 being the stable molecular forms. Most of our attention today will be devoted to the O2 molecule that is so critically connected with life on Earth. 2 2 2 4 2 O2 has the following valence electron configuration: (1σg) (1σu) (2σg) (1πu) (1πg) . It is be- cause of the presence of only two electrons in the two π* orbitals labelled 1πg that oxygen is paramagnetic with a triplet (the spin multiplicity \triplet" is given by 2S+1; here S, the total spin quantum number, is 0.5 + 0.5 = 1). There are six possible ways to arrange the two electrons in the two degenerate π* orbitals. These different ways of arranging the electrons in the open shell are called \microstates". Further, because there are six microstates, we can say that the total degeneracy of the electronic states 2 3 − arising from (1πg) configuration must be equal to six. The ground state of O2 is labeled Σg , the left superscript 3 indicating that this is a triplet state. It is singly degenerate orbitally and triply degenerate in terms of spin multiplicity; the total degeneracy (three for the ground state) is given by the spin times the orbital degeneracy. 1 The first excited state of O2 is labeled ∆g, and this has a spin degeneracy of one and an orbital degeneracy of two for a total degeneracy of two. This state corresponds to spin pairing of the electrons in the same π* orbital.

Sigman , Member 7-8-2011 Date Approved Debra Mascaro , Member 7-8-2011 Date Approved and by Henry S. White , Chair of the Department of Chemistry and by Charles A. Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT A series of 1,3-disubstituted-2-imidazolium carboxylates, an adduct of CO2 and N-heterocyclic carbenes, was synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray, thermogravimetric, IR, and NMR analysis. The TGA analysis of the imidazolium carboxylates shows that as steric bulk on the N-substituent increases, the ability of the NHC-CO2 to decarboxylate increases. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that the torsional angle of the carboxylate group and the C-CO2 bond length with respect to the imidazolium ring is dependent on the steric bulk of the N-substituent. Rotamers in the t unit cell of a single crystal of I BuPrCO2 (2f) indicate that the C-CO2 bond length increases as the N-substituents rotate toward the carboxylate moiety, which suggests that rotation of the N-substituents through the plane of the C-CO2 bond may be involved in the bond breaking event to release CO2.

  • The Chemistry of Carbene-Stabilized
    THE CHEMISTRY OF CARBENE-STABILIZED MAIN GROUP DIATOMIC ALLOTROPES by MARIHAM ABRAHAM (Under the Direction of Gregory H. Robinson) ABSTRACT The syntheses and molecular structures of carbene-stabilized arsenic derivatives of 1 1 i 1 1 AsCl3 (L :AsCl3 (1); L : = :C{N(2,6- Pr2C6H3)CH}2), and As2 (L :As–As:L (2)), are presented herein. The potassium graphite reduction of 1 afforded the carbene-stabilized diarsenic complex, 2. Notably, compound 2 is the first Lewis base stabilized diatomic molecule of the Group 13–15 elements, in the formal oxidation state of zero, in the fourth period or lower of the Periodic Table. Compound 2 contains one As–As σ-bond and two lone pairs of electrons on each arsenic atom. In an effort to study the chemistry of the electron-rich compound 2, it was combined with an electron-deficient Lewis acid, GaCl3. The addition of two equivalents of GaCl3 to 2 resulted in one-electron oxidation of 2 to 1 1 •+ – •+ – give [L :As As:L ] [GaCl4] (6 [GaCl4] ). Conversely, the addition of four equivalents of GaCl3 to 2 resulted in two- electron oxidation of 2 to give 1 1 2+ – 2+ – •+ [L :As=As:L ] [GaCl4 ]2 (6 [GaCl4 ]2). Strikingly, 6 represents the first arsenic radical to be structurally characterized in the solid state. The research project also explored the reactivity of carbene-stabilized disilicon, (L1:Si=Si:L1 (7)), with borane. The reaction of 7 with BH3·THF afforded two unique compounds: one containing a parent silylene (:SiH2) unit (8), and another containing a three-membered silylene ring (9).

    ON THE ROAD TO CARBENE AND CARBYNE COMPLEXES Nobel Lecture, 11 December 1973 by ERNST OTTO FISCHER Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Technical University, Munich, Federal Republic of Germany Translation from the German text INTRODUCTION In the year 1960, I had the honour of giving a talk at this university* about sandwich complexes on which we were working at that time. I think I do not have to repeat the results of those investigations today. I would like to talk instead about a field of research in which we have been intensely interested in recent years: namely, the field of carbene complexes and, more recently, carbyne complexes. If we substitute one of the hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon of the alkane type - for example, ethane - by a metal atom, which can of course bind many more ligands, we arrive at an organometallic compound in which the organic radical is bound to the metal atom by a σ-bond (Fig. la). The earliest compounds of this kind were prepared more than a hundred years ago; the first was cacodyl, prepared by R. Bunsen (1), and then zinc dialkyls were prepared by E. Frankland (2). Later V. Grignard was able to synthesise alkyl magnesium halides by treating magnesium with alkyl halides (3). Grignard was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1912 for this effort. We may further recall the organo-aluminium compounds (4) of K. Ziegler which form the basis for the low pressure polymerisation, for example of ethylene. Ziegler and G. Natta were together honoured with the Nobel Prize in 1963 for their work on organometallic compounds.

  • Carbene Rearrangements: Intramolecular Interaction of a Triple Bond with a Carbene Center
    An Abstract OF THE THESIS OF Jose C. Danino for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry presented on _Dcc, Title: Carbene RearrangementE) Intramolecular Interaction of a Triple Bond with aCarbene Center Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Dr. Vetere. Freeman The tosylhydrazones of2-heptanone, 4,4-dimethy1-2- heptanone, 6-heptyn-2-one and 4,4-dimethy1-6-heptyn-2- one were synthesizedand decomposed under a varietyof reaction conditions:' drylithium and sodium salt pyrolyses, sodium methoxide thermolysesin diglyme and photolyses of the lithium salt intetrahydrofuran. The saturated ana- logues 2-heptanone tosylhydrazoneand its 4,4-dimethyl isomer afforded the alkenesarising from 6-hydrogeninser- product distribution in the tion. It was determined that differ- dry salt pyrolyses of2-heptanone tosylhydrazone was ent for the lithiumand the sodium salts. However, the product distribution of thedry sodium salt was verysimilar diglyme to product distributionobtained on thermolysis in explained by a with sodium methoxide. This difference was reaction of lithium bromide(present as an impurity inall compound to the lithium salts)with the intermediate diazo afford an organolithiumintermediate that behaves in a some- what different fashionthan the free carbene.The unsaturated analogues were found to produce a cyclic product in addition to the expected acyclic alkenes arising from 3-hydrogen insertion. By comparison of the acyclic alkene distri- bution obtained in the saturated analogues with those in the unsaturated analogues, it was concluded that at leastsome cyclization was occurring via addition of the diazo moiety to the triple bond. It was determined that the organo- lithium intermediateresulting from lithium bromide cat- alyzed decomposition of the diazo compound was incapable of cyclization.
