Synthesizing and Investigating Cobalt Complexes: UV-Vis and Structure-Property Relationships

Post-Lab Activity


23. Using the color of the complexes as an approximation for Δ, construct a spectrochemical series that is based on using your eyes as the detector (going from strongest to weakest).

24. What similarities and/or differences do you notice between the two data-derived spectrochemical series you constructed in questions 20 and 23?

25. Discuss any possible sources of error and any estimations made that may have influenced your results.
