AbstractControlling the properties of heavy element complexes, such as those containing berkelium, is challenging because relativistic effects, spin-orbit and ligand-field splitting, and complex metal-ligand bonding, all dictate the final electronic states of the molecules. While the first two of these are currently beyond experimental control, covalent M‒L interactions could theoretically be boosted through the employment of chelators with large polarizabilities that substantially shift the electron density in the molecules. This theory is tested by ligating BkIII with 4’-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,2’:6’,2”-terpyridine (terpy*), a ligand with a large dipole. The resultant complex, Bk(terpy*)(NO3)3(H2O)·THF, is benchmarked with its closest electrochemical analog, Ce(terpy*)(NO3)3(H2O)·THF. Here, we show that enhanced Bk‒N interactions with terpy* are observed as predicted. Unexpectedly, induced polarization by terpy* also creates a plane in the molecules wherein the M‒L bonds trans to terpy* are shorter than anticipated. Moreover, these molecules are highly anisotropic and rhombic EPR spectra for the CeIII complex are reported.

The complete ligand field -Coulomb repulsion -spin orbit interaction matrices have been derived for the d4 and d6 electron configurations within octahedral (Oh) and tetrahedral (Td) symmetry. The calculations were perform ed in both the weak-field and strong-field coupling schemes and complete agreement of the results was achieved. The energy matrices are parametrically dependent on ligand field (Dq), Coulomb repulsion (B, C) and spin-orbit interaction (ζ). Correct energy diagrams are presentend which display the splittings by spin-orbit perturbation as well as the effect of configuration mixing. Applications to the interpretation of optical spectral data, to the detailed behavior at the crossover of ground terms, and to complete studies in magnetism are pointed out.

The complete ligand-field, Coulomb interelectronic repulsion, and spin-orbit interaction matrices have been derived for the d5 electron configuration within octahedral (Oh) and tetrahedral (Td) symmetry. The calculations were performed in both the weak-field and strong-field coupling schemes and complete agreement of the results was achieved. The energy matrices are parametrically dependent on ligand field (Dq), Coulomb repulsion (B, C), and spin-orbit interaction (ζ). Correct energy diagrams are presented which display the splittings by spin-orbit perturbation as well as the effect of configuration mixing. Applications to the interpretation of electronic spectra, and to complete studies in magnetism are pointed out. The detailed behavior at the crossover of ground terms is considered

The preparation of Hg(NH3)2Cl2 doped with a small amount of Cu2+ is reported. The EPR and ligand field reflectance spectra indicate the presence of “CuCl4(NH3)2” polyhedra with a compressed tetragonal geometry and confirm, that the centres in Cu2+ doped NH4Cl possess the same geometry - as postulated earlier. The Cu2+ centres in Hg(NH3)2Cl2 are less compressed than those in NH4Cl, however, as could be deduced from the copper(II) hyperfine values, which are strongly influenced by the quite different admixture of the metal 4s orbital into the Alg (dz2) ground state in the two cases, and from the comparable energies of the d - d transitions.
