Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
If a predicted electronic spectrum of na2[co(scn)4] has 3 peaks but two are seen is the third found in the uv region?
Accepted Answer
The missing peak in the electronic spectrum of Na2[Co(SCN)4] could be in the UV region. This is because transitions involving d-orbitals often result in absorption in the UV-Vis region. The observed peaks are likely due to d-d transitions within the cobalt(II) ion, which are typically in the visible region. The missing peak could correspond to a higher energy transition, possibly a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) band, which is commonly found in the UV region.
