KnowraJahn–Teller effectLinked fromLinked fromThe 14 pages that link to Jahn–Teller effect, each with the reason it gives.All 14Related 13Compared with 1Molecular geometryRelated: It explains geometry distortions driven by electronic structure rather than simple pair repulsion.Coordination complexRelated: Some complexes distort to remove degeneracy in their electronic states.Crystal field theoryRelated: Unequal orbital occupancy can distort a complex and alter its ideal crystal-field splitting.Coordination chemistryRelated: Unevenly occupied metal orbitals can distort coordination geometry and split degenerate levels.Ligand field theoryRelated: Uneven occupation of degenerate metal orbitals can drive the distortions the effect describes.FullereneRelated: It explains symmetry-lowering distortions in some charged fullerene states.Coordination geometryRelated: It can distort ideal coordination geometries, especially in certain transition-metal complexes.CyclobutadieneRelated: Distorting from a square geometry relieves cyclobutadiene’s electronic degeneracy.Octahedral molecular geometryRelated: Unequal orbital occupancy can stretch or compress an octahedral complex.18-electron ruleRelated: Orbital stabilization can favor distortions that electron counting alone does not predict.4f electronCompared with: Its strong distortions are less typical for shielded 4f states than for many d-electron states.Square planar molecular geometryRelated: Electronic distortions can stabilize planar coordination arrangements in particular complexes.AntiaromaticityRelated: Distortion can split degenerate orbitals and relieve antiaromatic electronic instability.Endohedral fullereneRelated: Charge transfer can leave some cages electronically degenerate and prone to structural distortion.
