Up to this point we have considered two central issues involved in interpreting electronic spectra of transition metal complexes—the number and intensities of spectral lines. There is a third important spectral feature, the widths of observed bands, which we have not yet discussed. Consider again the visible spectrum for...

Chapter 3 describes the theory of electronic spectra of transition metal ions. The three characteristic features of absorption bands in a spectrum are position or energy, intensity of absorption and width of the band at half peak-height. Positions of bands are commonly expressed as wavelength (micron, nanometre or angstrom) or wavenumber (cm-1) units, while absorption is usually displayed as absorbance, absorption coefficient (cm-1) or molar extinction coefficient [litre (g.ion)-1 cm-1] units.

In discussing spectra, it will be particularly useful to be able to relate the electronic spectra of transition metal complexes to the ligand field splitting, A for octahedral complexes. To do this it will be necessary to introduce two special types of diagrams, correlation diagrams and Tanabe-Sugano diagrams. 

Diffuse reflectance techniques have been used to measure UV-Visible spectra of transition metal ions in zeolites and of adsorbed molecules for nearly 30 years. There have been no dramatic changes in experimental technique in recent times, although the theoretical basis for interpretation of the electronic spectra of transition metal ions in zeolites has received considerable attention in the past 10 years. There has also been a growing realisation of the importance of combining UV-VIS data with that from other spectroscopic and structural methods to fully characterise zeolite systems.
