Crystal field theory explains metal complex color, magnetism, and stability through d-orbital splitting in ligand field.
Guía paso a paso
- 1Input metal ion, ligands, geometry
- 2Calculate d-orbital splitting energies
- 3Predict color and magnetic properties
Ejemplos resueltos
Entrada
[Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻: strong field, low spin, diamagnetic
Resultado
vs. [Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺: weak field, high spin, paramagnetic
Errores comunes a evitar
- ✕Confusing high vs. low spin
- ✕Not applying to correct geometry
Preguntas frecuentes
Why does color depend on coordination?
Different ligand fields cause different d-orbital splittings; visible light absorption matches energy gaps.
