Term
What is the order of the visible light spectrum
Definition
P B G Y O R
Term
Acronym for order?
Definition
People buy good yogurt often read.
Term
What is the wavelength range for visible light?
Definition
400 to 750 nm
Term
What type of magnetism do t-metals primarily exhude
Definition
Paramagnetism
Term
Why might t-metals exhude a trend in one type of magnetism or another?
Definition
They have more orbitals to fill up and so statistically there are less paired electrons.
Term
hapticity
Definition
# of atoms from the ligand that are involved with the metal atom
Term
pyrophoric
Definition
burn spontaneously when exposed to air
Term
sandwich conplex
Definition
a complex where the metal atom lies between ntwo pi bonded hydrocarbon ligands
Term
Metallocenes
Definition
a metal atom sandwhiched between two cyclopentadienyl anions.
Term
Beer's law
Definition
Absorption is dependent on the molar absorptivity of a substance of the pathlength of a substance of some concentration
A=E*l*c
Term
LaPorte Selection rule
Definition
The change in quantum number l can only be plus or minus 1
Term
LMCT
Definition
Ligand to metal charge transfer
Term
MLCT
Definition
Metal to ligand Charge transfer
Term
Ionization isomers
Definition
This involves the ligand being exchanged for the anion in the anionic ligand
Term
Hydration Isomers
Definition
This is the same as an ionization isomer except with water being exchanged and no charge being transferred.
Term
Coordination isomers
Definition
the difference between one coordination isomer and another is that ligands have been switched in some way.
Term
Linkage isomers
Definition
the difference here is the atom through which a ligand is connected. Say SCN was connected to the metal atom via S. Well a linkage isomer of this complex would be one where instead it was connected through the N.
Term
Delta oct
Definition
the difference between the HOMO LUMO in an octahedral complex
Term
Low spin state
Definition
where as many of the electrons are paired in a complex as possible
Term
High spin state
Definition
as little electron pairing as possible
Term
Electron paramagnetic resonance
Definition
This is a technique for studying chemical species that have one or more unpaired electrons
