What is the ground state energy term for a d7 complex
Accepted Answer
The ground state energy term for a d7 complex depends on the ligand field splitting and the pairing energy. For high spin d7 complexes, the ground state term is 4F. For low spin d7 complexes, the ground state term is 2D. These terms can be derived using Hund's rules and the Tanabe-Sugano diagrams.
