This exploration focuses on how metal-containing molecules, specifically nickel complexes, demonstrate color due to electronic transitions influenced by ligand field theory. We analyze various ligands, such as NH3, en (ethylenediamine), Cl-, and H2O, to understand their impact on the vibrational energy of complexes like [Ni(NH3)6]2+, [Ni(en)3]2+, [NiCl4]2-, and [Ni(H2O)6]2+. We also discuss general trends in vibrational modes and the relationship between the electromagnetic spectrum and the color these complexes exhibit.
