    Study Notes

    Tanabe-Sugano Diagrams

    • Used to represent energy changes of metal ions in different ligand fields (weak to strong)
    • T-S diagrams show energy levels and how they change with crystal field strength
    • Ground state is always on the horizontal axis
    • Other energy states are plotted relative to the ground state
    • Energy values are plotted on the vertical axis
    • Diagrams use Dq/B units (crystal field strength) for the horizontal axis, and energy for vertical axis
    • Low spin states are included
    • T-S diagrams are for octahedral complexes, but can be applied to tetrahedral complexes
