Would you expect CD NH3 4Cl2 to be colored?
Cd2+, like Cu+, is also d10. We would not expect Cd(NH3)4Cl2 to be colored because the d orbitals are filled in this Cd2+ complex.
How is color produced in transition metal complexes?
The striking colors exhibited by transition-metal complexes are caused by excitation of an electron from a lower-energy d orbital to a higher-energy d orbital, which is called a d–d transition (Figure 24.7.
What is the effect of nature of ligand on ΔO?
Factor 3: The Nature of the Ligands Experimentally, it is found that the Δo observed for a series of complexes of the same metal ion depends strongly on the nature of the ligands. For a series of chemically similar ligands, the magnitude of Δo decreases as the size of the donor atom increases.

How does oxidation state affect color?
As the oxidation state of the metal increases, so also does the amount of splitting of the d orbitals. Changes of oxidation state therefore change the colour of the light absorbed, and so the colour of the light you see.
What ion is expected for Jahn-Teller distortion?
The Jahn–Teller effect is responsible for the tetragonal distortion of the hexaaquacopper(II) complex ion, [Cu(OH2)6]2+, which might otherwise possess octahedral geometry.
What color is co NH3 6 3+?
What colour is Fe3+?
Solutions that are yellow in colour usually contain Fe3+ ions.
Why LFT is also called Acft?
The LFT is used as an intermediate which includes the change from CFT to molecular orbital theory. Cotton and Wilkinson have called LFT as ACFT (Adjusted Crystal Field Theory). It is applicable in case of ligands such as CO, CN“, phen and NO7 which provide largest crystal fields and thus are able to form я-bonds.
How nature of ligands affect crystal field splitting?
The electrons in the d-orbitals and those in the ligand repel each other due to repulsion between like charges. Thus the d-electrons closer to the ligands will have a higher energy than those further away which results in the d-orbitals splitting in energy.
What is the color of Co NH3 6?
Solutions of [Co(NH3)6]2+, [Co(H2O)6]2+ (both octahedral), and [CoCl4]2- (tetrahedral) are colored. One is pink, one is blue, and one is yellow.
Which electronic configuration are highly undergo Jahn-Teller distortion?
The Jahn–Teller effect is most often encountered in octahedral complexes, especially six-coordinate copper(II) complexes. The d9 electronic configuration of this ion gives three electrons in the two degenerate eg orbitals, leading to a doubly degenerate electronic ground state.
Which of the following molecules will undergo Jahn-Teller distortion?
In the complex [Cu(H2O)6]2+ the configuration is t2g6eg3 i.e eg orbital is unsymmetrical and hence will show Jahn-Taller distortions.
In which complex Jahn-Teller distortion is possible?
hexaaquacopper(II) complex ion
The Jahn–Teller effect is responsible for the tetragonal distortion of the hexaaquacopper(II) complex ion, [Cu(OH2)6]2+, which might otherwise possess regular octahedral geometry. The two axial Cu−O distances are 238 pm, whereas the four equatorial Cu−O distances are ~195 pm.
