Explain why [CoCl4]2- (blue) and [Co(H2O)6]2+ (pink) have different colors. Which complex has its absorption bands at longer wavelengths?
The Ni2+(aq) cation is green, but Zn2+(aq) is colorless. Explain.
Predict the crystal field energy-level diagram for a square pyramidal ML5 complex that has two ligands along the axes but only one ligand along the z axis. Your diagram should be intermediate between those for an octahedral ML6 complex and a square planar ML4 complex.
Draw a crystal field energy-level diagram for a square planar complex, and explain why square planar geometry is especially common for d8 complexes.
