Low-spin [Fe(NO 2) 6] 3− crystal field diagram. The Δ splitting of the d orbitals plays an important role in the electron spin state of a coordination complex. Three factors affect Δ: the period (row in periodic table) of the metal ion, the charge of the metal ion, and the field strength of the complex's ligands as described by the spectrochemical series.
The right side contains d 4 and d 9 tetrahedral and d 1 and d 6 octahedral complexes. For the F Orgel diagram, the left side contains d 2 and d 7 tetrahedral and d 3 and d 8 octahedral complexes. The right side contains d 3 and d 8 tetrahedral and d 2 and high spin d 7 octahedral complexes.
A consequence of the much smaller size of Δ T results in (almost) all tetrahedral complexes being high spin and therefore the change in the ground state term seen on the X-axis for octahedral d 4-d 7 diagrams is not required for interpreting spectra of tetrahedral complexes.

In an octahedral complex, the molecular orbitals created by coordination can be seen as resulting from the donation of two electrons by each of six σ-donor ligands to the d-orbitals on the metal. In octahedral complexes, ligands approach along the x -, y - and z -axes, so their σ-symmetry orbitals form bonding and anti-bonding combinations ...
Octahedral high spin: 3 unpaired electrons, paramagnetic, substitutionally labile. Octahedral low spin: 1 unpaired electron, paramagnetic, substitutionally labile. Examples: cobaltocene. d 8 Complexes which are d 8 high-spin are usually octahedral (or tetrahedral) while low-spin d 8 complexes are generally 16-electron square planar complexes.
Fe(acac) 3 is an octahedral complex with six equivalent Fe-O bonds with bond distances of about 2.00 Å. The regular geometry is consistent with a high-spin Fe 3+ core with sp3d2 hybridization. As the metal orbitals are all evenly occupied the complex is not subject to Jahn-Teller distortions and thus adopts a D 3 molecular symmetry.
Crystal field diagram for octahedral low-spin d 5 Crystal field diagram for octahedral high-spin d 5. According to crystal field theory, the d orbitals of a transition metal ion in an octahedal complex are split into two groups in a crystal field. If the splitting is large enough to overcome the energy needed to place electrons in the same ...
