Crystal Field Theory Summary
24. Transition Metals and Coordination Compounds / Crystal Field Theory Summary / Problem 4
Cobalt complexes, characterized by the chemical formula CoX2L2, wherein X is Cl− or N-bonded NCS− and L is a monodentate triphenylphosphine ligand, can exhibit either a tetrahedral or square planar geometry. What are the crystal field energy-level diagrams that illustrate the distribution of electrons within the orbitals for a tetrahedral and square-planar CoX2L2 complex?
