Question

Any tips/help with answering these questions especially part b would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer these questions in context of the relative energetics of the t2g and eg orbitals of octahedral complexes – that is, how does the energy of the t2g and/or the eg orbitals change as a result of the comparison, and how does this cause o to change?

Why do stronger sigma donor ligands result in larger o splitting?

How and why does o change when you compare M(phen)3 to M(CO)6?

Why is I- a stronger pi donor than F-? Based on this, would you expect CoF63-

or CoI63- to have the larger o of the two?
