Nickel Demonstration
Recall the color of light transmitted is complementary to the color of light that is
absorbed. Red is complementary to green; orange is complementary to blue; yellow is
complementary to violet.
[NiCl6]4- (greenish)
Absorbs λ that is ___________; so !o is ;Cl - is a field ligand
H2O
[Ni(H2O)6]2+ (blue-green)
Absorbs λ that is ________________than above; so !o is than above;
H2O is a fiel d ligand than above
EDTA
Ni-EDTA (blue)
Absorbs λ that is ________________than above; so !o is than above;
EDTA is a field ligand than above
Also [Ni(H2O)6]2+ (blue-green)
dimethylglyoxine (dmgH)
Ni-(dmgH)2 (red)
Absorbs λ that is ________________than above; so ! is ___________________; but the
complex is square planar and not octahedral. Geometry matters. Square planar
geometry must allow for a large splitting of the energy of the d-orbitals.
(We will look at this in a few minutes.)

• There is ___________repulsion between the ligand negative point charges and the
d-orbitals that are 45° off axis (dyz, dxz, dxy) than there is between the ligand negative
point charges and the d-orbitals that are on axis (dz2 and dx2-y2).
• As a result of the above, there is greater orbital destabilization for dyz, dxz, dxy than
for dx2-y2 and dz2 ( of octahedral).
• dz2 and dx2-y2 have the energy with respect to each other (degenerate).
• dyz, dxz, dxy have the same energy with respect to each other (degenerate).
• The tetrahedral crystal field splitting energy (∆T) is than for
octahedral complexes because the point charges are not directed at any orbital set.
