For tetrahedral complexes, which always exhibit high spin states, the maximum CFSE (crystal field stabilization energy) is:
(a)-8 Dq
(b)-12 Dq
(c)-16 Dq
(d)-20 Dq
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
Tetrahedral high-spin d²/d⁷: e² gives 2 × (−6Dq) = −12Dq (in Δt = 10Dq units), the maximum (b).
