Abstract:
The technical pure azo dye FRL was purified by recrystallization with the solvent composed of ethanol and water whose volume ratio is 1:1. The azo dye FRLP was obtained by coincidence reaction with phen after reoxidation reaction by purified FRL and sodium nitrite, which can be cooperated with Cu2+. And at room temperature the UV-Vis spectrum of FRLP-Cu2+ was studied. The form of the complex was confirmed by successive changing equal number of moles, which is in the B-R solution from pH 6 to pH 9, and the ratio of the complex (Cu2+:FRLP) is 1:2. In the B-R solution (pH 8.8) the mol absorption parameter of the complex is epsilon590 nm = 9.5 x 10(4) L x mol(-1) x cm(-1), and the apparent stable constant is K = 5.12 x 10(12). The property of ultraviolet band spectrum of FRLP-Cu2+ was studied, showing that the aqueous solution of the complex can absorb the ultraviolet radiation strongly from 200 nm to 305 nm. The complex mixing with PVAL can also absorb ultraviolet radiation strongly. At the maximum absorption wavelength in the visible zone and laid parallelly with the optical axis, the transmission of the single slice is 45%-50%, the transmission of two slices laid vertically is zero from 200 nm to 325 nm, and the averaged transmission from 325 nm to 400 nm is 10%.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
