Strong field ligands

Accepted Answer

Strong field ligands are ligands that cause a large splitting of the d-orbitals in a transition metal complex. This results in a low-spin configuration, where the electrons prefer to pair up in the lower energy orbitals rather than occupying the higher energy orbitals. Examples of strong field ligands include cyanide (CN-), carbon monoxide (CO), and ethylenediamine (en).
