Absorption spectrum of an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate, showing a vibronic fine structure in the LMCT band. The tetraoxides of d 0 metal centers are often deeply colored for the first row metals. This coloration is assigned to LMCT, involving transfer of nonbonding electrons on the oxo ligands to empty d-levels on the metal.
In chemistry, charge-transfer (CT) complex, or electron donor-acceptor complex, describes a type of supramolecular assembly of two or more molecules or ions. The assembly consists of two molecules that self-attract through electrostatic forces, i.e., one has at least partial negative charge and the partner has partial positive charge, referred ...
For example, the colour of chromate, dichromate and permanganate ions is due to LMCT transitions. Another example is that mercuric iodide , HgI 2 , is red because of a LMCT transition. A metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition will be most likely when the metal is in a low oxidation state and the ligand is easily reduced.
This is a list of unsolved problems in chemistry. Problems in chemistry are considered unsolved when an expert in the field considers it unsolved or when several experts in the field disagree about a solution to a problem.
Compounds that obey the 18-electron rule are typically "exchange inert". Examples include [Co(NH 3) 6]Cl 3, Mo(CO) 6, and [Fe(CN) 6] 4−.In such cases, in general ligand exchange occurs via dissociative substitution mechanisms, wherein the rate of reaction is determined by the rate of dissociation of a ligand.
Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride is the chemical compound with the formula [Co(NH 3) 6]Cl 3.It is the chloride salt of the coordination complex [Co(NH 3) 6] 3+, which is considered an archetypal "Werner complex", named after the pioneer of coordination chemistry, Alfred Werner.
An example of this would be the two Co coordination polymers of the [Re 6 S 8 (CN) 6] 4− cluster that contains water ligands that coordinate to the cobalt atoms. This originally orange solution turns either purple or green with the replacement of water with tetrahydrofuran, and blue upon the addition of diethyl ether. The polymer can thus act ...
Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow salt. [4] It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite, but is more prevalent as an impurity substituent in the similarly structured zinc ores sphalerite and wurtzite, which are the major economic sources of cadmium.
