Splitting In The d-Orbital

Examples

1. [Ti (OH₂)₆]³⁺ this gives out a red-purple colour.
This complex has a d¹ configuration and plits as shown below

This has an absorption of V_max = 20300 cm^-1 this is the wave number of the light absorbed when this [Ti (OH₂)]³⁺ complexes' e^- jumps from the t₂g to the Eg energy level.

2. [Cr (Cl^-)₆]^4-, this is a green complex.
Cr Forms a d⁴ complex and it is high spin so it forms a ligand feild splitting diagram as shown below.

When this gets excited 1 of the electrons on the t₂g energy level jumps to the Eg energy level

3. [Cu (OH₂)₆]²⁺ this complex gives out a blue colour.
It has a d-orbital configuration of d⁹ and forms and octahedral complex, the splitting is shown below. It can only have one splitting pattern and that is high spin
