Title: About crystal field theory(ligand)
Post by: o0CY0o on December 20, 2008, 11:59:19 AM
If we determine the 3-d shape of a complex
how to know whether it belong to tetrahedral or square planar type if both have 4 ligands?

There's another question
can anyone calculate the packing efficiency of HCP? i can do it for all other lattice sturcture but not this one.
