Does d7 octahedral use spin only magnetic moment or s+l magnetic moment

Accepted Answer

For d7 octahedral complexes, you typically use the spin-only magnetic moment formula. This is because the orbital contribution to the magnetic moment is often quenched due to the strong ligand field splitting in octahedral complexes. The spin-only formula is: μ = √(n(n+2)) BM, where n is the number of unpaired electrons.
