Octahedral Crystal Field Splitting
Octahedral Crystal Field Splitting
Ligands approach the metal ion along the axes in an octahedral crystal field. This causes a splitting of d-orbital energies, with the eg orbitals (dx2-y2, dz2) higher in energy than the t2g orbitals (dxy, dyz, dxz).
Tetrahedral Crystal Field Splitting
Tetrahedral Crystal Field Splitting
Ligands approach the metal ion diagonally in a tetrahedral crystal field. This causes a splitting of d-orbital energies, but with t2 orbitals lower in energy than e orbitals.
