MIT 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2014 View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/5-111F14 Instructor: Catherine Drennan Crystal field theory was developed to explain the special features of transition metal complexes, including their beautiful colors and their magnetic properties. In part I of this topic, we consider d-block coordination complexes that have octahedral geometry, and see whether we can change the color of a paper flower dipped in an octahedral cobalt chloride complex just by adding water.
