The Jahn–Teller effect (JT effect or JTE) is an important mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking in molecular and solid-state systems which has far-reaching consequences in different fields, and is responsible for a variety of phenomena in spectroscopy, stereochemistry, crystal chemistry, molecular and solid-state physics, and materials science.
The pyramidalization and energies of inversion of group 15 :MR 3 (M = N, P, As, Sb, Bi) and group 14 •MR 3 molecules can also be predicted and rationalized using a second-order Jahn-Teller distortion treatment. The “parent” planar molecule possessing D 3h symmetry has frontier orbitals of a 2 ” (HOMO) and a 1 ’ (LUMO) symmetries
In their early 1957 paper on what is now called pseudo Jahn–Teller effect (PJTE), Öpik and Pryce [2] showed that a small splitting of the degenerate electronic term does not necessarily remove the instability and distortion of a polyatomic system induced by the Jahn–Teller effect (JTE), provided that the splitting is sufficiently small (the two split states remain "pseudo degenerate ...
Known for his "life-long years of experience in theoretical chemistry" [1] working on the electronic structure and properties of coordination compounds, Isaac B. Bersuker is “one of the most widely recognized authorities” [2] in the theory of the Jahn–Teller effect (JTE) and the pseudo-Jahn–Teller effect (PJTE).
The Jahn–Teller effect is one such cause. Complexes are not perfectly symmetric all the time. Complexes are not perfectly symmetric all the time. Transitions that occur as a result of an asymmetrical vibration of a molecule are called vibronic transitions , such as those caused by vibronic coupling .
Its distorted octahedral structure reflects geometric distortions due to the Jahn–Teller effect. The two most common structures for this complex include one with tetragonal elongation and one with tetragonal compression. For the elongation, two Mn–O bonds are 2.12 Å while the other four are 1.93 Å.
Jahn-Teller distorted octahedral structure of [Cu(H 2 O) 6] 2+ found in the solid state and possibly also in solution [32] Proposed square pyramidal structure of [Cu(H 2 O) 5] 2+ in aqueous solution [34] The ions of these metals in the +2 and +3 oxidation states have a solvation number of 6.
Complexes such as this are called "low spin". For example, NO 2 − is a strong-field ligand and produces a large Δ. The octahedral ion [Fe(NO 2) 6] 3−, which has 5 d-electrons, would have the octahedral splitting diagram shown at right with all five electrons in the t 2g level. This low spin state therefore does not follow Hund's rule.
