Questions regarding tetrahedral geometry. a) Pretend low-spin cases are possible for tetrahedral complexes. • Identify the d cases where low-spin cases would be possible. Briefly show your work. Choose one d configuration with a possible low-spin case and write the CFSE expression for both high- and low-spin cases. b) Consider tetrahedral CoCla? (At = 5000 cm'). Determine the CFSE (in cm) for CoCla. Estimate the CFSE (in cm') for the hypothetical species octahedral CoClst. Note: this species is high-spin.

CFT is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, remember that the lobes of the eg set point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place,but now we have only four ligands located between the axes (as given). None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the eg set (along the Cartesian axes) overlaps with the ligands less than does the t2g set. By analogy with the octahedral case, predict the energy diagram for the d orbitals in a tetrahedral crystal field. To avoid confusion, the octahedral eg set becomes a tetrahedral e set, and the octahedral t2g set becomes a t2 set.

Consider the [Ir2(dimen)4] 2+ complex. Notice that the dimen ligand is asymmetric. There is also a different, symmetric diisocyano ligand referred to as “TM4” (structure shown to the right) that forms the same sort of binuclear complex that dimen does.
