Rationalize why the absorption spectrum of an aqueous solution of [T i (OH 2 ) 6 ]

Question:

Rationalize why the absorption spectrum of an aqueous solution of [Ti(OH2)6]2+ (stable under acidic conditions) exhibits two well-separated bands (430 and 650 nm) assigned to ‘d–d’ transitions, whereas that of an aqueous solution of [Ti(OH2)6]3+ consists of one absorption (λmax = 490 nm) with a shoulder (580 nm).
