What transition is responsible for the peaks in a uv vis spectra for an octahedral d3 complex
Accepted Answer
For an octahedral d³ complex, the UV-Vis spectrum is dominated by transitions from the ground state, ³T₁g, to excited states, specifically to the ³T₂g and ³A₂g states. These transitions are d-d transitions, meaning they involve the promotion of electrons from lower energy d orbitals to higher energy d orbitals. The specific transitions observed depend on the ligand field strength and the nature of the metal ion.
