Question

Based on the crystal-field strengths cl- < f- < h2o < nh3 < h2nc2h4nh2, which octahedral ti (iii) complex below has its d-d electronic transition at shortest wavelength?

Answer 1

Based on the crystal field strength, Cl ligand would give the longest d-d transition when complexed with Ti(III). as this is the weak field ligand and would cause minimum splitting of d orbitals.
