Question

A complex, ML₆²⁺, is violet. The same metal forms a complex with another ligand, Q, that creates a weaker field. What color might MQ₆²⁺, be expected to show? Explain.

Answer 1

A complex, ML₆²⁺, is violet. The same metal forms a complex with another ligand, Q, that creates a weaker field.  MQ₆²⁺, be expected to show green color.

What is spectrochemical series?

The ligands (attachment to a metal ion) are listed in the spectrochemical series according to the strength of their field. The series has been created by superimposing several sequences discovered through spectroscopic research because it is impossible to produce the full series by examining complexes with a single metal ion. The halides are referred to be weak-field ligands whereas the ligands cyanide and CO are strong-field ligands. Medium field effects are claimed to be produced by ligands like water and ammonia.
