The electronic spectrum of [Ti(H2O)6]3+ shows a single broad peak with a maximum at 20,300 cm–1. The crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) of the complex ion, in kJ mol–1, is : (1 kJ mol–1 = 83.7

Question

The electronic spectrum of [Ti(H2O)6]3+ shows a single broad peak with a maximum at 20,300 cm–1. The crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) of the complex ion, in kJ mol–1, is : (1 kJ mol–1 = 83.7 cm–1)

(A) 242.5
(B) 145.5
(C) 83.7
(D) 97

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. [Ti(H2O)6]3+  Ti3+ = 3d1 4s0  t2g1,0,0 , eg0,0 CFSE = [–0.4nt2g + 0.6neg] 0 + n(p) = [–0.4 × 1] 20300 = –8120 cm–1 . 8120   kJ/mole = – 97 kJ/mole
