Detailed Solution

  • The colorless species are TiF62− and Cu2​Cl2
  • Cu2​Cl2 is a dimer of CuCl. There is only one unpaired electron in CuCl and after dimerization, there is no unpaired electron. Hence, it is diamagnetic and colorless. 
  • Ti in TiF62− has no d electrons, so it is also colorless.
