Figure 1 UV-vis absorption spectrum of [Ti(OH₂)6]³+.
(a)
Figure 1 shows the UV-vis absorption spectrum of [Ti(OH2)6]³+. The band
shown in the figure is not symmetric and suggests that more than one
state is involved. Explain this observation using the Jahn-Teller effect.
Chromium is a member of group 6 of the transition metals. Chromium
complexes most commonly exist in +3 and +6 oxidation states. Discuss
why the solutions of [Cr(H₂O)6]³+ and [CrO4]²- have a pale green and
intense yellow, respectively.
