The complex VCl3(CH3CN)3, which has absorption bands at 694

and 467 nm. Calculate o and B for this complex.

V(III) is a d2 ion

v2 = 21,413 cm–1
and v1 = 14,409 cm–1
v2/v1 = 1.49
From the Tanabe-Sugano diagram at o/B = 34.5

Dr. Said El-Kurdi 15

From the Tanabe-Sugano diagram

at o/B = 34.5

v1: E/B = 29
E = 29 B =14,409 cm–1
B = 497 cm–1

v2: E/B = 44
E = 44 B = 21,413 cm–1
B = 487 cm–1

Average B = 492 cm–1, o = 34.5

B = 16,970 cm–1
