The ligand field splitting energy is greater for complexes of $ \pi $-acid ligands than for complexes of $ \pi $-base ligands.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The ligand field splitting energy is related to the strength of the interaction between the metal ion and the ligand. F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-acid ligands are typically stronger ligands than F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-base ligands, leading to a larger splitting energy in the former.
