1. For each of the following complexes i. Assume perfect octahedral or tetrahedral symmetry based on the coordination number ii. Determine which of the two species have a larger crystal field splitting energy (Ao or At) iii. Using concepts from class explain your choice (explanations referring to the spectrochemical series will not receive any credit) a. [Fe(CN)6]4- vs. [Fe(NH3)6]2+ b. [CrCl]- vs. [CrF6]>- c. [Mn(en)3]2+ vs. [Mn(en)3]3+ c. [VC16]3- vs. [NbC16]3- d. [Ru(CN)6]- vs. [RuF6]3-
