degenerate d atomic orbitals
Metal ion, Mn+, and
six ligands, L, at an
infinite distance apart
Uniformly raised energies of
d orbitals in a hypothetical
spherical electrostatic field
If the electrostatic field
created by point charge
ligands is octahedral, then the
energy of electrons in d
orbitals that point directly at
the ligands will be higher in
energy compared to
barycenter and the electrons
in d orbitals that point
between the ligands will be
lower in energy compared to
the barycenter.
d atomic orbitals split into 2 levels
Do = hn = hc/l

Weak field Ligand High field Ligand
High electrostatic interaction: large CF splitting.
Low electrostatic interaction: small CF splitting.
How do we understand this trend?

SALC Approach
Step 1: Find the SALCs of the L’s for the type of bond (sigma, pi…)
that we are interested in.
Step 2: Reduce that representation into a sum of irreducible representation
of the point group of our molecule
Step 3: Find the orbitals of M that have the same symmetry
as the SALCs of the L’s
Step 4: Draw the MO by combine the orbitals of M with the SALCs of L
