Discussion :-
The color change from violet to orange is a result of the change in type of donor
atom .The reaction yield is good (44.53%) .The λmax of the complex is ( 468 nm )
this value is in the blue sector of the color wheel figure 3 .The Complementary
color of the blue sector is orange sector .The Complex should have orange
color , which match with complex color figure 6 .
The molar absorptivity of the complex is (1.9), which is lower than 10 M-1
cm-1.This means that the complex have center of chemistry .
Conclusion :-
I have prepared the complex successfully because , the 468 λmax is dose to the
reported value .
