Which of the following complex ions is not expected to absorb visible light?

  1. [Ni(CN)4]2-
  2. [Cr(NH3)6]3+
  3. [Fe(H2O)6]2+
  4. [Ni(H2O)6]2+

Answer

(1) [Ni(CN)4]2-

Solution

[Cr(NH3)6]3+ (3d3), [Fe(H2O)6]2+ (3d6, high spin) and [Ni(H2O)6]2+ (3d8) have unpaired electrons and weak / moderate crystal field splitting d–d transitions absorb visible light (coloured).

[Ni(CN)4]2-: Ni2+ (3d8) with the strong field ligand CN- dsp2, square planar, all electrons paired (diamagnetic).

The splitting by CN- is very large, the energy needed for promotion lies outside the visible region.

[Ni(CN)4]2- is not expected to absorb visible light.
