Concept introduction:
The characters of the irreducible representations of the given point group can be multiplied by each other. The only condition is that the characters of the same symmetry operations are multiplied together. The multiplication of the characters is commutative.
The great orthogonality theorem for the reducible representation can be represented as,

Physical Chemistry
- The solid anhydrous solid CoCl2 is blue in color. Because it readily absorbs water from the air, it is used as a humidity indicator to monitor if equipment (such as a cell phone) has been exposed to excessive levels of moisture. Predict what product is formed by this reaction, and how many unpaired electrons this complex will have.arrow_forwardTi(NH3)63+ has a d-orbital electron transition at 399 nm. Find o at this wavelength.arrow_forwardWould you expect the complex [Co(en)3]Cl3 to have any unpaired electrons? Any isomers?arrow_forward
- The compound hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride is diamagnetic and orange in color with a single absorption peak in its visible absorption spectrum. Estimate the wavelength where you expect the absorption of light to reach a maximum?arrow_forward2+ has a broad absorption band centered at about 500 nm. What color light is absorbed by the ion? In water, the cobalt(I) ion, Co(H2O)6 green O magenta O yellow О blue О суan O redarrow_forwardWhich of the following transition metals has a vacant f orbital? Cd V W Zrarrow_forward
- Tetrahedral complexes such as [FeF4]2- possess a Td symmetry, as indicated in the picture below. Use group theory and symmetry operations to determine the reducible representation resulting from the combination of y vectors. Break the reducible into irreducible and decide which metal orbitals are likely used to form σ bonds.arrow_forwardWrite the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these transition metal ions, and indicate which are paramagnetic. (Type your answer using the format [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p1 for [Ar] 4s23d104p1.) (a) Mo3+ O paramagnetic O diamagnetic (b) Hf2+ O paramagnetic O diamagnetic (c) Mn2+ O paramagnetic O diamagnetic (d) v3+ O paramagnetic O diamagneticarrow_forward2. Compound V ([Pd(en) 2] PtCl4) can have a coordination isomer. The coordination isomer of [Pd(en)2] PtC14 is [Pt(en)2]PdC14.arrow_forward
