Chapter 9, Problem 9D.21E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason why Zn2+ complexes are colorless has to be explained and the magnetic nature of Zn2+ complexes has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Color of the complex:

According to the Crystal Field Theory, ligands that have high spin are considered weak field and ligands that have low spin are considered strong field.  This relates to the colors seen in a coordination complex.  High spin ligands induce the absorption of longer wavelength (lower frequency=lower energy) light than complexes with low spin ligands since their respective Δ0 values are smaller than the electron pairing energy.  If the ions have a noble gas configuration, and have no unpaired electrons, the solutions appear colorless.
