Solution
Mn+7,andCr+6 have no d electrons and hence there is no d-d transition. But the color of the complexes is due to ligand to metal charge transfer.
HgI2, BiI3 and PbI2 are also colored due to ligand metal charge transfer . Here, I has greater tendency to donate electrons tofacilitate charge transfer.
