Magnetism

• Weak field ligands give a low D and electrons tend to be unpaired (high spin).

• [FeF6]3- d5 _?__ _?__

  _?__ _?__ _?__
  

• Electron occupancy varies with the ligand only for the following electron configurations: d4, d5, d6, d7

• Other configurations give identical results for strong or weak field ligands.
