How to calculate diamagnetic corrections with multiple ligands
Accepted Answer
Diamagnetic corrections are used to adjust magnetic susceptibility values for the presence of diamagnetic contributions from ligands and ions. Calculating these corrections for multiple ligands involves summing the individual contributions from each ligand. You'll need to look up the diamagnetic corrections for each individual ligand in a reference table or database. The total diamagnetic correction is then added to the observed magnetic susceptibility to get the corrected magnetic susceptibility, which is often used to determine the number of unpaired electrons in a complex and infer its electronic configuration.
