About this document
Crystal Field Theory in Octahedral Complexes by Wasim is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Crystal field theory explains the bonding and properties of coordination complexes. It assumes that ligands are point charges that interact electrostatically with the metal ion. In an octahedral complex, the d-orbitals split into lower energy t2g and higher energy eg orbitals due to differences in orbital orientation. In a tetrahedral complex, the splitting is reversed with eg becoming lower in energy. Crystal field stabilization energies describe the extra stabilization from this splitting and influence co
