Bond Length And Bond Valence For Tungsten-Oxygen And Tungsten-Sulfur Bonds, F. D. Hardcastle, R. Lykins Jan 2017

Bond Length And Bond Valence For Tungsten-Oxygen And Tungsten-Sulfur Bonds, F. D. Hardcastle, R. Lykins

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

In 1947, Linus Pauling presented an “empirical” dependence of bond valence (s, also referred to as bond order) and bond length R: s = exp[(R0-R)/b], where R0 is bond length of unit valence and “b” is a fitting parameter. Recently, an expression was derived for relating the b fitting parameter to theoretically derived atomic orbital exponents. With a method to calculate b, both R0 and atomic orbital exponents can be experimentally determined through optimized fitting for W-O and W-S bonds. In the present study, bond …


Bond Length And Bond Valence Relationships For Chromium Oxides, Chromium Sulfides, Molybdenum Oxides, And Molybdenum Sulfides, J. Labrecque, F. D. Hardcastle Jan 2017

Bond Length And Bond Valence Relationships For Chromium Oxides, Chromium Sulfides, Molybdenum Oxides, And Molybdenum Sulfides, J. Labrecque, F. D. Hardcastle

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Pauling determined an empirical logarithmic dependence of bond order (bond valence), s, to bond length, R, s = exp(R0 – R/ b), where R0 is unit bond length and b is a fitting parameter. Recently, an expression was derived for relating the b fitting parameter to theoretically derived atomic orbital exponents. With a method to calculate b, both R0 and atomic orbital exponents can be experimentally determined through optimized fitting for Cr-O, Cr-S, Mo-O, and Mo-S. In the present study, bond length – valence relationships are found for Cr-O, Cr-S, Mo-O, and Mo-S chemical …
