Ligand Field Theory
In LFT we use metal valence orbitals and ligand frontier orbitals to
make metal–ligand molecular orbitals
Metal valence orbitals:

Oh first!
We already did this: see 10/18 lecture.
For now we will only consider
σ-bonding with the ligands
σ-MOs for Octahedral Complexes

interact in a complex:

The situation is a little more

High Spin and Low Spin
Electron configurations for octahedral complexes, e.g. [M(H2O)6]+n.
Only the d4 through d7 cases can be either high-spin or low spin.

Weak-field ligands:
- Small Δ, High spin complexes
Strong-field ligands:
- Large Δ, Low spin complexes
Electron Pairing Energy
The total electron pairing energy, Πtotal, has two components, Πc and
Πe
•
Πc is a destabilizing energy for the Coulombic repulsion associated with putting two
electrons into the same orbital
•
Πe is a stabilizing energy for electron exchange associated with two electrons
having parallel spin

The non-bonding t2g orbitals of an octahedral metal complex are
oriented perfectly to form π-bonds with ligands
π Donor vs π Acceptor Ligands
The nature of the metal ligand π interaction is dependent on the type
of ligand.
•
π-donor ligands are ligands with one or more lone pairs of electrons in p orbitals on
the donor atom that can donate to empty orbitals on the metal.
•
preferred for metals with high oxidation states and low d electron count (d0-d3)
Examples:
Cl–, Br–, I–, OR–, SR–,
NR2–, O2–, NR2–, N3–
•
π-acceptor ligands (π-acidic ligands) are ligands with empty π* orbitals on the
donor atom that can accept electrons from the metal.
•
preferred for metals with low oxidation states and high d electron count (d6 or higher)
•
donation of electron density from the metal to the ligand π* orbital results in weakening of the multiple
ligand bond
Examples:
CO, NO, CN-, pyridine

Spectrochemical Series
The trend in ∆O that arises from π-donor, σ-only, and π-acceptor
ligands is the basis for the Spectrochemical Series. For [ML6]n+
complexes:
increasing ∆O
I– < Br– < Cl– < OH– < RCO2– < F– < H2O < NCS– < NH3 < en < NO2– < phen < CN– ≅ CO

•

The value of Δo also depends systematically on the metal:
1. Δo increases with increasing oxidation number.
2. Δo increases down a group.
→ both trends are due to stronger metal-ligand bonding.
* Due to effect #2, octahedral 3d metal complexes can be low spin or
high spin, but 4d and 5d metal complexes are always low spin.
σ-MOs for Tetrahedral Complexes
Four-coordinate tetrahedral complexes are ubiquitous throughout the
transition metals.

Δt is small compared to Δo:
•
All tetrahedral complexes of the 3d transition metals are HIGH SPIN!
•
Tetrahedral complexes of the heavier transition metals are low spin.
