| Now that you have frequencies, you can estimate the Δ value for each complex. Because frequency is directly proportional to energy, you can relate ν to Δ. For complexes with multiple frequencies, the lower energy frequency corresponds to an electron transitioning amongst the split d-orbitals. |
20. Rank your five ligands into an experiment spectrochemical series going from strongest to weakest.
21. Using the information regarding orbital interactions and bonding, summarize your spectrochemical series. Be sure to discuss σ and π interactions, π-accepting/donating, HOMO, and LUMO. |
