Crystalline inorganic oxides displaying bright colours attracted much attention from early days for
application as gemstones and pigments. In addition to the naturally occurring gemstones and pigments, several man-made (synthetic) coloured solids were also developed to meet the demand. Thus, hydrate d chromium oxide (Viridian), cobalt aluminate (Thernard’s blue) and various cadmium sulphi-des (Ca dm-ium Yellow, Cadmiun Red) as well as an hydr-ous Fe2O3 are some of the early synthetic pigments for green, blue, yellow and red colours respectively. A scientific inquiry into the origin of colours of inorganic solids is essential for a rational design and synthesis of coloured materials. While there are
several causes for the colour of solids, the main factor that causes colour in an inorganic oxide contain -ing transition metal ion is the electronic transitions within the partially filled d-states arising from the
ligand field effects around the transition metal ion. Octahedral and tetrahedral are the most common
geometries where the colour and optical absorption spectra of all the transition metal ions have been well-documented. Transition metal ions in less symmetric geometries such as distorted octahedral and five-fold coordinated (square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal) geometries produce colours differe- nt from those in regular octahedral and tetrahedral geometries in materials. The present talk would ad- dress some of these issues and our efforts towards identifying new chromophores employing transitio n metal chemistry.
