Ligand Field Spin-Orbit Coupling Calculations for d7, d8, d9 (d3, d2, dl) Five Coordinated Complexes of CSvSymmetry A. Benclnl and D. Gatteschl” Laboratorio CNR and lstituto di Chimica Generale, Universita di Firenze, 50 132 Florence, Italy (Received February 9, 1976)

The complete matrices for ligand field spin-orbit coupling perturbations are provided for d l , d2, and d3 ions in CsUsymmetry. The importance of using such matrices for the interpretation of the electronic properties of trigonal bipyramidal five-coordinated complexes is stressed, in contrast with previous uses in the literature of D3h matrices.

Introduction L1 The electronic properties of coordination compounds of I transition elements have been extensively investigated in the last years and an increasing amount of experimental information has been obtained by the use of single crystal electronic spectroscopy in linearly polarized light a t very low temperature and under high resolution conditions1,2of magnetic circular dichroism ~pectroscopy,~ electron spin resonance ~ p e c t r o s c o p y , ~etc. - ~ For the interpretation of these experimental data it is necessary to use a method of calculation which can keep pace with the more sophisticated experimental techniques, allowing for small perturbations such as the low symmetry components of ligand field and spin-orbit coupling. These, in fact, determine the nature of the ground electronic L2 level and are responsible for the large number of electronic Figure 1.

Ligand field calculations have been generally used, because they provide a simple way of parameterization of energy levels, coupling scheme, however, is unimportant in the ligand field although, in some instances, also more sophisticated models formalism, when we perform “complete” calculations, i.e., were employed. Complete ligand field spin-orbit coupling when we consider all the interactions among the levels origimatrices, however, are easily available only for cubic symnating from different states of the dn manifold. Eigenvalues metries,&l0 as a consequence of the intial impetus in the study and eigenvectors of the spin-orbit coupling operator were of octahedral or tetrahedral complexes, while there is not obtained by direct diagonalization of its perturbation matrices much in the literature for low symmetry chromophores.

In fact, in the last years, it has become that all the most common ligand field parameterizations, including the angular overlap model, can be considered to be equivalent, and that, therefore, it is desirable to be able to pass from one to another in order to make the best use of the method according to the problem which is being studied. In Table V20 are reported the relations between our parameters and the most common ligand field parameters for five coordinate complexes, in the nonadditive scheme25(which in C3" symmetry requires three parameters Dq, Ds, and D t ) , in

the additive scheme25 (which requires up to six parameters, Dq and I2 for each set of independent donor atoms), and the angular overlap mode125 (which, for linearly ligating donors and neglecting 6 bonds, requires up to six parameters, e,' and e,' for each set of independent donor atoms).

Which of them has lower energy depends fundamentally on the energy difference between the excited 4Azand 4A1 (4AZ'fand 4A1ffof D3h symmetry) and the ground term. In fact in C3" symmetry the ground 4Az term is represented by a linear combination of functions having ML equal to 0 and f 3 . The latter component has matrix elements of Yfs0different from zero with 4A1, a fact which is not operative in D3h symmetry, and had not been previously appreciated for CsU symmetry, where only simplified second-order spin-orbit coupling arguments had been ~ s e d . ~Further ~ - ~ l the coupling with the 4A1term is greater for the I'5 level than for the r4 one ((3i/2){and ( i / 2 ) {in absolute value, respectively), then the stabilization of the rj (4A2)level with respect to the r4 (4A2) one increases as the mixing of the excited 4Az term with the ground 4Az term increases. The admixture of the two 4Az terms into the ground level is determined by the value of 0 and, as it is shown in Figure 5 , as 8 is lowered from the value of 90' the energy separation between r4 and r5 r6 states decreases, until finally a cross over occurs. The present results show, therefore, how it is necessary to make use of complete matrices in order to evaluate the properties, such as magnetic moments, g tensors, etc., which depend largely on the nature of the ground level. In fact for low symmetry complexes the parameters required are many and to fix arbitrarily some of them is dangerous. Diagrams of the type of Figures 2-5 are therefore the best means of investigating the effect of the parameters, and sample calculations
