ASSIGNMENT. Inorganic Chemistry Fourth Edition Peter Atkins, Tina Overton, Jonathan Rourke, Mark Weller, and Fraser Armstrong 848 pages | 1500 colour line drawings | 276x219mm 978-0-19-926463-6 | Paperback | 26 January 2006 Price: £39.99 1. Exercises on page 489 •19.15 to 19.23 2. Find a UV-visible spectrum of a transition metal complex (d3 d8) from internet . Assign the peaks and using the appropriate Tanabe –Sugano diagram calculate ∆ο for the complex.
Cr(NH3)63+
Assigning transitions (blue arrow reproduces observed transitions)
21550cm-1 28500cm-1
Two allowed, one forbidden transition
Analysis of Tanabe Sugano -Using Ruler to find ratio Get the Ratio of v2/v1=28500/215500=1.32 Now,using a ruler.Find a y value by moving the ruler along the x axis and find the ratio approximately at 1.32 T2g
4
Approximately 1.30 at 33.0 T1g

4
T2g ← 4A2g
4
T1g ← 4A2g
From the Tanabe –Sugano diagram ∆ο/Β =33.0 It’s mean that 32.8B=21550cm-1 So B=657cm-1 ∆ο=21700 cm-1
