The number of expected electronic transitions in [Cr(en)3]3+ and trans-[Cr(en)2F2]+ at 4 K is, respectively (en=ethylenediamine) ​
Question

The number of expected electronic transitions in [Cr(en)3]3+ and trans-[Cr(en)2F2]+ at 4 K is, respectively (en=ethylenediamine)


A.

3 and 3

B.

3 and 4

C.

3 and 5

D.

3 and 6

Correct option is D

Orgel diagrams are particularly useful in the interpretation of spin allowed electronic transitions of tetrahedral and high spin octahedral complexes but not for low spin octahedral complexes. The spin allowed electronic transitions occur between the two energy states that have same spin multiplicity.

Combined Orgel diagram is shown in figure

[Cr(en)3]3+:There are three possible spin allowed d-d transitions. It is a d3complex (Cr3+).

 4T2g 4A2g 4T1g(F) 4A2g 4T1g(P) 4A2g\text{ }^{4}T_{2g} \longleftarrow \text{ }^{4}A_{2g} \\\text{ }^{4}T_{1g}(\text{F}) \longleftarrow \text{ }^{4}A_{2g} \\\text{ }^{4}T_{1g}(\text{P}) \longleftarrow \text{ }^{4}A_{2g}

trans-[Cr(en)2F2]+: It has D4h symmetry. Six transitions are possible.
