Tetrahedral Splitting Factors that Affect ∆
An alternate view of a tetrahedron: a cube with half the corners missing 1) Number of ligands and geometry (see previous)
Three orbitals point at ligands 2) Oxidation state: ∆↑ as n+ ↑ (Note: n is oxidation state, not principal QN)

+6.00 • Tetrahedral complexes tend to be high spin
E • Octahedral complexes will be high spin only if
