Coordination Compounds 2 Question 69

####71. Identify the complexes which are expected to be coloured. Explain

(1994,2M) (i) [Ti(NO3)4] (ii) [Cu(NCCH3)]+BF4 (iii) [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 (iv) K3[VF6]

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (i) [Ti(NO3)4]:Ti4+(3d0) No d-electron, no d - d transition possible, colourless.

(ii) [Cu(NCCH3)]BF4:Cu+(3d10) All d-orbitals are completely filled, no dd transition possible, colourless.

(iii) [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3:Cr3+(3d3) Complex has allowed d - d-transitions from t2g to eg level, hence coloured.

(iv) K3[VF6]:V3+(3d2) Complex has allowed d - d-transitions from t2g to eg level, hence coloured.
