Electronic Structure of Coordination Complexes

This General Chemistry lecture covers the electronic structure of transition metal compexes, starting with the simple Crystal Field Theory, covering the spectrochemical series of ligands, high-spin and low-spin complexes, magnetic properties of compounds, and finally the Ligand Field Theory of bonding in complexes.

oh my bad, I misread, never mind ignore my stupid comment :) Great lecture btw.

Hi, No worries! I do make errors sometimes, and I appreciate when viewers bring them to my attention.

For tetrahedral field, the two groups of d orbitals should be e and t2 instead of eg and t2g, isn't it?

[chemdog8]

Right you are! Thanks for pointing this out. The Td (tetrahedral) point group does not have any inversion symmetry, so the g/u notation is inappropriate.

GO UTES!!!!

i think it is good lectue on transition metal theory.

best of luck

Props to you if I pass my test tomorrow.

Brilliant! Explained it all so well! :D

Thank you!

Thank you, is very useful and very well explained.

Interesting about the d orbials, but it may be slightly ore than I need for MCAT.

THANKS

For the spectrochemical series slide ( 5:12 ), I think there is a mistake. Short wavelengths are blue (not red) and long wavelengths are red (not blue).
