The reason why
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
