Abstract:The change in sign of the interaction force constant between element-hydrogen stretching modes of trans-dihydrides of the d block and p block elements is analyzed for the first time. As the transition metal M approaches group 12, the higher energy symmetric trans-H−M−H vibration ν sym approaches the energy of the antisymmetric vibration ν asym . Crossing to group 13 elements E, the trans-H−E−H vibration ν sym increasingly drops below ν asym . This reversal is attributed to the d orbital that participates in th… Show more
The number of electrons that a metal center provides to the bonding orbitals for coordination of multiple π-acceptor ligands is not a direct function of the number of ligands, and consideration must be given to the availability of metal orbitals.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
