Chemical bonding involving d-orbitals.
نویسنده
چکیده
The landmark 1954 J. Chem. Soc. paper by Craig et al. exploring the role of d-orbitals in chemical bonding is discussed. This paper set the agenda for discussions that continue until the present about topics in inorganic chemistry such as hypervalency, arguably the most significant bonding phenomenon to differentiate the chemistry of the 2p main group elements from their heavier congeners.

Chemical Bonding of Main-Group Elements
Prior to any meaningful discussion of bonding in main-group chemistry, we have to provide a reasonably accurate definition of what a main-group element is. In general, we assume that main-group elements are those that essentially use only their valence sand p-orbitals for chemical bonding. This leads to a number of borderline cases that require closer inspection. Assuming that the outer d-orbit...
متن کاملThe role of the 5f valence orbitals of early actinides in chemical bonding
One of the long standing debates in actinide chemistry is the level of localization and participation of the actinide 5f valence orbitals in covalent bonds across the actinide series. Here we illuminate the role of the 5f valence orbitals of uranium, neptunium and plutonium in chemical bonding using advanced spectroscopies: actinide M4,5 HR-XANES and 3d4f RIXS. Results reveal that the 5f orbita...
متن کاملThe Chemical Nature of Atomic Oxygen Adsorbed on Rh(111) and Pt(111): A Density Functional Study
The bonding of atomic oxygen on Pt(111) and Rh(111) was examined using density functional theory in order to understand their different chemical properties. The oxygen-surface interactions were modeled by bonding atomic oxygen to 10-atom clusters of Pt and Rh designed to model the (111) surface. Density functional theory was applied using the local density and generalized gradient approximation...
متن کاملAn ab initio quantum chemical investigation of TOMS nmr SHIELDING TENSORS IN Adenine-thymine, Adenine-uracil, Guanine-Cytosine & uracil-quartet: comparison between theoretical and experimental results
We have evaluated the NMR shielding tensors for A:T,G:C,A:U in Watson-crick, and U-quartet. We have computed NMR shielding tensors at B31YP level by using 6-31G(d) basis set. We have compute anisotropy and asymmetry in A:T,G:C,A:U and U-quartet. The NMR shielding tensors were calculated using the GIAO method. The natural bonding orbital analysis (NBO) were performed. NBO calculation have been ...
متن کاملProbing hydrogen bonding orbitals: resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering of aqueous NH3.
To probe the influence of hydrogen bonding on the electronic structure of ammonia, gas phase and aqueous NH3 have been investigated using soft X-ray absorption (XAS), resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering (RIXS), and electronic structure calculations including dynamical effects. Strong spectral differences in the XAS scans as well as in the RIXS spectra between gas phase and aqueous NH3 are ...
