Ligand Field theory
MST - ANO 1
Models to understand a complex
MST - ANO 2
Models are helpful with: **
Interpretation/understanding/prediction of:
• Colors and electronic spectra
• Spin states and magnetic properties
• Preference for certain geometries and distortions
• Effect of π-donating or π-accepting ligands

d-orbital splitting in a tetrahedron ***
Td = point group
symbol for tetrahedron
MST - ANO 13
d-Orbital splitting ***
• Splitting is 10 Dq (also denoted as Δ)
• Unit is energy, most often cm–1
• The energy difference Δ is dependent on:
– 1) the metal ion and oxidation state;
– 2) the ligand
– 3) the geometry
• For octahedron: ΔO
• For tetrahedron: ΔT
