A charge neutral macrocyclic ligand having four donor atomsfroms a red, diamagnetic complex of Ni(II). The counter ions forthis complex is the very weak Lewis base, ClO4-. When ClO4- isreplaced by thiocyanate, violet complex forms.
a. Draw the structures of the redand violet complexes such that thier geometires can be decernedbased only on your drawings.
b. Draw the d-orbital slittingdiagrams of the red and violet complexes such that the relativeenergies of the orbitals in the two complexes can becompared.
c. Wse your orbital diagrams toshow were the d electroms reside in each complex. Explain yourelectron configurations.
d. describe an experiment thatyou could do to test whether your predicted electron configurationsare reasonable. Show what the results of this experiment would befor the d electron configureation that you showed in partc
