Chapter 20, Problem 20.114SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ${\left[Ti{\left(NCS\right)}_6\right]}^{3-}ion$ exhibits a single absorption band at 544 nm. Calculate the crystal field splitting energy $\Delta$ in Kj/mol. Is NCS- a stronger or weaker field ligand than water.Predict the color of ${\left[Ti{\left(NCS\right)}_6\right]}^{3-}ion$.

Concept introduction:

Two types of ligands on the bases of CFSE strong field ligand, weak field ligand.

To determine:
Predict the color of ${\left[Ti{\left(NCS\right)}_6\right]}^{3-}ion$.
