The origin of the color in these complexes is not the dd transitions, rather due to charge transfer that we will briefly discuss later. Complex ions are electrically charged metal complexes, and a coordination compound contains one or more metal complexes. The interaction of a metal ion from the first transition series and an octahedral set of ligands that interact only through orbitals directed toward the metal ion results in the separation of the d orbitals of the metal ion into two sets of molecular orbitals.
