Crystal Field Theory Summary
24. Transition Metals and Coordination Compounds / Crystal Field Theory Summary / Problem 1
Consider the following substitution reaction of the complex trans-[RuCl2(bipy)2]:
trans-[RuCl2(bipy)2](aq) + NO2–(aq) → trans-[RuCl(bipy)2(NO2)] + Cl–(aq)
Predict the crystal field splitting diagram for the reactant trans-[RuCl2(bipy)2] given that Cl– is a much more weaker-field ligand than bipyridine (bipy).
