Solution
The correct option is C[Ti(CN)6]3− The complex for which the calculation of crystal field splitting can be
most easily done, by knowing its absorption spectrum, will be
[Ti(CN)6]3−
In [Ti(CN)6]3−, the Ti(III) ion has one electron in 3d subshell. Thus, it is one electron complex.
Note:
The calculation of crystal field splitting can be most easily done by
observing the absorption spectrum of one e− complex.
For
multi-electronic (d2tod10) system, the calculation of
Δ0 by absorption spectrum is not that easy as the absorption
spectrum will also be affected by electron-electron repulsion.
