Title: Crystal Field Splitting Question
Post by: skylarpoh on September 06, 2018, 03:14:53 AM

Hi does anyone knows why does ΔT of a square planar complex 4/9Δo ? I've been searching through online and was unable to find out any answers it would be great if someone can give me some advice to this question  :D

Do you mean Δ_t for a tetrahedral complex is 4/9Δ_o for an octahedral complex? There isn't a single Δ for square planar.
