Using crystal field theory, the crystal field energy diagram of low-spin complex
Concept Introduction:
There are five d-orbitals in a metal ion. They have similar energy levels that they are degenerated. Under the influence of ligands during complex formation, the degeneracy in d-orbitals is destroyed that they are split into two sets of orbitals - one set having lower energy and the another set is higher in energy. Crystal field splitting refers to the difference in energy levels between these two sets of d-orbitals.
When ligands approach the metal ion the degeneracy in d-orbitals of the metal ion is destroyed and they split into two different energy levels. In case of octahedral complex, the
