Post-Lab Activity |
Using the data you obtained in the lab, generate a spectrochemical series for the ligands you synthesized. To do this, you must calculate a value for Δ using Tanabe-Sugano diagrams. Learning how to do this is outside the scope of this activity. If you interested in learning this method, an advanced inorganic course such as CHM 417 might be of interest you.
For this experiment, we will estimate Δ values using the λmax values (local maximums or "peaks") that were collected during the experiment. |

18. What are the λmax values you determined for each of the complexes you synthesized? (Note: You may not have determined two λmax values for each complex)

19. Convert your wavelengths to frequencies (ν) in the form of wavenumbers (cm-1) using the equation Wavenumbers = 1 x 107 / wavelength in nanometers.
