Abstract Our study of FeSe$ _ {1-x}$Te$ _ {x}$ crystals with x $<$ 0.15 shows that the phase separation in these compositions occurs into phases with a different stoichiometry of iron. This phase separation may indicate structural instability of the iron plane in the studied range of compositions. We tentatively propose an explanation of the structural instability of the iron plane in the studied layered compounds in terms of the possible change in the bond polarity and the peculiarity of the direct $d-d$ exchange in the iron plane in the framework of the basic phenomenological description such as the Bethe-Slater curve. With this approach, when the distance between iron atoms is close to the value at which the sign of the magnetic exchange for some $d$ orbitals changes, structural and electronic instability can occur. Anomalies in the crystal field near the point of charge neutrality can also be a significant component of this instability.

Abstract The electronic structure of dodecahedral octacyanides of molybdenum IV and V is described in terms of SCCC molecular orbitals. Five MO's resemble d orbitals of the central atom. The splitting of appropriate levels is almost exactly the same as that following from the crystal field theory for G4/G2 ~ 0.7. According to the theory stable Mo(CN)84- is dodecahedral and stable MO(CN)83- is antiprismatic. In the dodecahedron the A-type ligands are bonded more strongly than the B-type ligands.

The potential on a Rydberg electron due to the cluster of atoms near the center of a polyatomic molecule is expanded in powers of spherical harmonics. Nonvanishing potentials in totally symmetric irreducible representations are obtained using the crystal field of the cluster of atoms in D3h, C3v, D4v, C4v, Td, and D2d symmetries. Odd as well as the usual even powers of spherical harmonics are included up to [Formula: see text]. Spectroscopically observable differences in potentials between a planar versus a nonplanar XY3 molecule and among a square planar, pyramidal, tetrahedral, and dihedral XY4 molecule are exhibited. First-order energies are given for a Rydberg [Formula: see text] state showing λ dependence. Second-order energies due to mixing of Rydberg states by odd and even power potentials and splitting of ±λ degeneracies are shown analytically for an nd as well as an nf Rydberg electron. The formalism is applicable to nonpenetrating Rydberg orbitals. Approximate radial integrals are obtained. Exact angular integrals for the first- and second-order energies are given. Symmetry-adapted combinations of the separated Y3 and Y4 ligand atomic orbitals are derived up to d orbitals. The correlations between these linear combinations of atomic orbitals as molecular configurations change are shown, e.g., as an XY4 molecule distorts from (D4h, C4v) to (D2d, Td) and vice versa.

Abstract The magnetic susceptibility of powder samples of Sm2(WO4)3 has been measured in the temperature range 4.2 to 300 K. At low temperatures the measured values disagree with those calculated for Sm3+-ions using Van Vleck's theory. The high values below 100 K are assigned to magnetic exchange and dipol interactions. There might be magnetic ordering below 4.2 K. The effects of the crystal field and impurities have been shown to be unimportant.

Protein-containing polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are a diverse class of materials, composed of two or more oppositely charged polyelectrolytes that condense and phase separate near overall charge neutrality. Such phase-separation can take on a variety of morphologies from macrophase separated liquid condensates, to solid precipitates, to monodispersed spherical micelles. In this review, we present an overview of recent advances in protein-containing PECs, with an overall goal of defining relevant design parameters for macro- and microphase separated PECs. For both classes of PECs, the influence of protein characteristics, such as surface charge and patchiness, co-polyelectrolyte characteristics, such as charge density and structure, and overall solution characteristics, such as salt concentration and pH, are considered. After overall design features are established, potential applications in food processing, biosensing, drug delivery, and protein purification are discussed and recent characterization techniques for protein-containing PECs are highlighted.

The influence of halides on the electronic structures of polyoxotitanate cages is explored in this experimental and theoretical study. Dipole moment, crystal-field splitting, Nephelauxetic influence of the halide and electron–electron repulsion all play a role.
