A Solid-State Spectral Effect in Eclipsed Tetracyanonickelates:  X-ray Crystal Structure, Polarized Specular Reflectance Spectroscopy, and ZINDO Modeling of Sr[Ni(CN)4]·5H2O, Rb2[Ni(CN)4]·H2O, and Na2[Ni(CN)4]·3H2O

Abstract: Crystal structures of three Ni(CN)(4)(2)(-) salts all with eclipsed ligands and varying axial stacking arrangements are presented. The absorption spectra of all three salts show a slight red shift in the x,y-polarizations and a large red shift in their z-polarizations upon crystallization from solution. Semiempirical ZINDO calculations provide a good model of the solid state, even with only a three-molecule segment, allowing reproduction of the red-shifting and intensity increase upon crystallization found exp… Show more

“…The relative orientations of the molecules differs from plan to ruf as shown in Figure and discussed in an earlier section. The proximity of the planes (∼3.5 Å) leads one to suspect some perceptible degree of electronic and thus spectral perturbation; when Ni atoms are this close in Ni(CN) 4 2- salts, the 8000 cm -1 red-shifts mentioned earlier occur. ,, The Ni atoms in NiOEP, though, are 4.80 Å apart in the triclinic B form and 8.23 Å apart in the tetragonal form so we expect no metal−metal interaction. From Figure , one might expect, however, metal−pyrrole ring interaction in the triclinic B ( plan ) form and pyrrole−pyrrole interaction in the tetragonal ( ruf ) form.…”

“…This small degree of overlap seems to be reflected in the small separation of energies from monomer to dimer orbitals as shown in Figure . Metal−pyrrole π interaction was suspected in the triclinic B form, and the metal orbitals most likely to interact with orbitals on neighboring molecules are the p z and d z 2 orbitals which were found to form extended lobes along metal chains in Ni(CN) 4 2- salts. , We see no such orbital overlap between molecules in Figure S4. In addition to intrinsic features of dimer MO's, we are interested in the origins of dimer MO's so we may assign dimer transitions as derivatives of the monomer, or standard molecular, assigned transitions such as those for Q or B.…”

“…An optical conductivity spectrum, which describes the imaginary part of the dielectric constant e 2 , was obtained using the Kramers-Kronig transformation on the reflection data. [19] In Figure 6 a, intense bands were observed at 3.02 and 4.27 eV, which were attributed to an IVCT (Pt II !Pt IV ) band and an LMCT (bridging Br!Pt IV ) band, respectively. [4b] After transformation, the obtained optical conductivity spectrum afforded the corresponding E CT values, but the maximum was broad with a spectral width greater than 100 meV.…”
