Cards

Term
Coordination compounds
Definition
composed of metal ions bonded with one or more ligands.
Term
Ligands
Definition
nonmetals that may be single
atoms, ions, or molecules that donate electrons to the metal.
Term
Monodentate
Definition
only one atom bonds to metal
Term
Unit cell
Definition
The simplest portion of the structure that is repeated
Term
Band
Definition
many closely spaced MO’s of nearly continuous energy
Term
Valence Band
Definition
highest occupied band (HOMO)
Term
Conduction Band
Definition
next highest empty band
Term
Insulator
Definition
Large energy gap between valence and conduction band, electrons cannot move through material
Term
Conductor
Definition
Partly filled valence and conduction bands (most metals) so little energy required for electron movement
Term
Hole
Definition
electron vacancy that can also “move” in partially occupied bands
Term
Semiconductors
Definition
Full valence band, empty conductance band but close together, energy gap < 2 eV
Si, Ge are common pure substances that are semiconductors
At low temperature they are insulators
At higher temperature they are conductors
Opposite temperature effect to metals
Term
Madelung constant
Definition
sum of a series of numbers
representing the number of nearest neighbors and their
relative distance from a given ion
Term
Phyllosilicates
Definition
(sheet or layer silicates) are a mineral group that includes clays and micas (layers of K+ ions between silicate and aluminate layers)
Term
Sodalite
Definition
the simplest zeolite
Term
Zeolite A = Linde type A
Definition
made of alpha supercage and sodalite b cages
Term
rho-Zeolite
Definition
made of alpha cages
Term
Faujasite
Zeolite X/Y
Definition
Based upon β-cages and 6-membered rings
Isostructural with diamond
Term
Most MOFs are not zeolitic
Definition
Typically they are not built from tetrahedra
Term
Metalloporphyrins
Definition
lie at the heart of many
natural processes such as photosynthesis
Term
metalloporphyrin is also at the heart of haemoglobin
Definition
Fe(porphyrin) side histidine other to O
coordinated one to histidine, O2
Term
Magnetic Moment μ
Definition
μ = 2.82 (χ T)1/2
Term
Spin Magnetic Moments
Definition
μs = 2√S(S+1)
Term
Crystal Field Theory
Definition
used to describe dorbital
splitting
Term
Crystal Field Theory can be used to account for:
Definition
Colors of transition metal complexes and Magnetic properties of transition metal complexes
Term
Jahn-Teller Effect
Definition
“there cannot be unequal occupation of orbitals with identical energy”
Term
chromophore
Definition
An atom or group of atoms that absorbs light
(whether or not a color is produced).
Term
Frank-Condon Principle
Definition
The electronic transition from one energy state to another occurs so quickly that the
nuclei of the atoms involved are in effect stationary during the process.
Term
Spin Selection Rule
Definition
changes in spin multiplicity are forbidden
Term
Laporte selection rule
Definition
there must be a change in the parity
(symmetry) of the complex
