Question- Starting with Cu(aq) and displacing each H20 with NH3 and viewing this on the visible spectra. i.e [Cu(H20)n(NH3)6-n]2+ n=1 to 6
Part 1) When analyzing the visible spectra what is the experimental relationship between the number of ammonia ligands in the complex and the position of lamda max?
Part 2) Explain this relationship for the first four complexes in terms of ligand field theory and bond strength
Part 3) What happens when the fifth ammonia ligand is added? Explain in detail in terms of bonding and structures why this occurs.
