What transition is responsible for the peaks in a uv vis spectra for an octahedral cr(iii) complex
Accepted Answer
The peaks in the UV-Vis spectra of an octahedral Cr(III) complex are due to d-d transitions. Specifically, the transitions are from the lower energy t2g orbitals to the higher energy eg orbitals within the d-orbital splitting diagram of the complex. The exact transitions and their wavelengths depend on the ligands surrounding the chromium ion.
