The Jahn-Teller (JT) theorem states that in a molecule with a degenerate electronic state, a structural distortion must occur that lowers the symmetry, removes the degeneracy and lowers the energy. The multideterminental-DFT method performed to calculate the JT parameters for JT active molecules is described. Within the harmonic approximation the JT distortion can be analyzed as a linear...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) in conjuction with the Intrinsic Distortion Path (IDP) is employed to study the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect in all four diastereoisomers of tris(ethylenediamine)copper(II) ([Cu(en)₃]²⁺) and tris(ethyleneglycol)copper(II) ([Cu(eg)₃]²⁺) complexes. As a consequence of the JT effect all the isomers tetragonally elongate to the C₂ configurations. Although there...

The effects of adsorption on the graphite(0001) surface on the nonplanar distortions of nickel(II) octaethylporphyrin were studied by molecular mechanics (MM) approach. Using the Consistent Force Field (CFF) program with previously developed parameters for metalloporphyrins and supplemented to treat intermolecular interactions geometry optimizations were carried out for 43 conformations of 28...

The quinquedentate complex trans(H₂O,O⁵)-[Cr(1,3-pddap)(H₂O)] · 2H₂O (where 1,3-pddap is the 1,3-propanediamine-N,N '-diacetate-N-3-propionate ion) was prepared and its structure established by X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁, a = 17.290(2), b = 10.821(2), c = 7.872(1) Å, Z =...
