For the same metal ion and metal−ligand distance, ligand L gives Δₒ = 18,000 cm⁻¹. Compare its tetrahedral complex and an octahedral complex of stronger-field L′ at that same distance. Which order is

Question

For the same metal ion and metal−ligand distance, ligand L gives Δₒ = 18,000 cm⁻¹. Compare its tetrahedral complex and an octahedral complex of stronger-field L′ at that same distance. Which order is consistent with CFT?

Options:

Answer:

C

Solution:

Δₜ = (4/9)Δₒ = 8,000 cm⁻¹ at equal distance. The stronger ligand has Δₒ(L′) > 18,000.
