10 Valence Bond Theory (VBT) : Hybridization. Description of atomic orbital types used to share electrons or hold lone pairs to form bonds. Crystal Field Theory (CFT) : Electrostatic approach. Describing the split of d-orbtal energies in crystal field. No description of bonds.

23 Valence Bond Theory (Hybridization) VBT has great importance of developing bonding theory for coodination compounds. But It is highly unlikely to use 4d orbital which is high in energy. Many electronic spectra (such as charged complexes) are not well explained. Today, we rarely use it. Forget VBT But, don't foget that VBT is still a good subject for exams.

43 Ligand Field Theory CFT explains well the magnetic properties and in some degree the electronic spectra of the complexes. However, there is no explaination of the bondings. In other words, the purely electrostatic approach does not allow for the lower (bonding) molecular orbitals, and thus fail to provide a complete picture of the electron structures of complexes. CFT and MO theory combined complete theory Ligand Field Theory (Bonding Theory of Transition-Metal Complexes) Constructring MOs to explain the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and bondings.

76 angular overlap energy Theories of Bonding and Electronic Angular Overlap Model Four- and six coordinate preference Angular overlap calculation can provide us with some indication of relative stabilities depending on the number of d electrons and geometries. E = 12x(-e s ) + 5x(0e s ) + 2x(3e s ) = -6e s O h is favorable. Both sq. pl and O h are favorable.

77 angular overlap energy Theories of Bonding and Electronic Angular Overlap Model Four- and six coordinate preference Angular overlap calculation can provide us with some indication of relative stabilities depending on the number of d electrons and geometries. Strong-field sq. pl is favorable. Angular overlap calculation gives just an approximate. There are many other factors to get a complete picture.

81 Jahn-Teller Effect There cannot be unequal occupation of orbitals with identical orbitals. To avoid such unequal occupation, the molecule distorts so that these orbitals no longer degenerate. In other words, if the ground electron configuration of a nonlinear complex is orbitally degenerate, the complex will distort to remove the degeneracy and achieve a lower energy. d 9 (Cu(II)) favor In O h, effect on e g orbital is bigger so that Jahn-Teller elongation usually occurs for d 9. (Why? : think about the directions of the orbitals)

Molecular shape is determined by the number of bonds that form around individual atoms.

Molecular shape is determined by the number of bonds that form around individual atoms. Chapter 9 CH 180 Major Concepts: Molecular shape is determined by the number of bonds that form around individual atoms. Sublevels (s, p, d, & f) of separate atoms may overlap and result in hybrid orbitals
