Which of the following statements concerning octahedral coordination complexes is $\underline{\text{ not }}$ correct? A) Strong field ligands produce large octahedral ligand field splittings. B) Weak field ligands produce high spin complexes. C) Halide ions are strong field ligands. D) Weak field ligands result in relatively small values for $\Delta$_o. E) A relatively large value for $\Delta$_o causes a complex ion to absorb relatively high energy (shorter wavelength)light.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Halide ions are actually weak field ligands, which means they produce high spin complexes and result in relatively small values for F1F1F1S1F1F1F10_o. Strong field ligands, on the other hand, produce large octahedral ligand field splittings and have relatively large values for F1F1F1S1F1F1F10_o, causing the complex ion to absorb relatively high energy (shorter wavelength) light.
