This 1FLO asks students to interpret an electronic spectrum of 5 NiX42- anions. Students will determine the relative ligand field strength, (re)familiarize themselves with terms such as "redshift" and "blueshift", and consider possible metal complex geometries.

-
Students (re)familiarize themselves with relationship between wavelength (λ) and wavenumber (cm-1).
-
Students recall 4-coordinate geometries.
-
Students define the terms “redshift” and “blueshift.”
-
Students analyze data to construct a partial spectrochemical series.
None
This activity could be used as either a guided introduction to the spectrochemical series, or as an in-class activity to review after introduction. If used as an introduction, question 4 may need modification.
Evaluation
Evaluate students' comprehension based on verbal in-class answers and ensuing discussion.
