摘要
Density functional theory calculations are utilized to calculate and visualize the compression and elongation Jahn-Teller distortion in selected Mn(beta-diketonato)(3) complexes. Students often struggle to understand this effect, due to the lack of visualization of the repulsion effect between charges on the metal and the axial ligands. Here, a visualization of the molecular orbitals involved in the elongation and compression Jahn-Teller distortion provides a great understanding of the effect.
