Electronic Spectra of Transition Metal Complexes --- Part 5: Tanabe-Sugano Diagrams for d2 and d7

Using [V(H2O)6]3+and [Co(NH3)6]2+ as representative examples, UV-Vis data for V(III) is fit to the d2 Tanabe-Sugano diagram and known ligand field parameters for Co(II) are used to predict the energies of the spin allowed transitions.
