Ligand Field Theory LFT in conjunction with the Molecular Or

Ligand Field Theory (LFT) in conjunction with the Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT):

t2g in LFT corresponds to                                                                                  

eg in LFT corresponds to

t2gbonding in MOT

t2gnonbonding in MOT

t2gantibonding in MOT

egbonding in MOT

egnonbonding in MOT

egantibonding in MOT

-

t2g in LFT corresponds to                                                                                  

-

eg in LFT corresponds to

A.

t2gbonding in MOT

B.

t2gnonbonding in MOT

C.

t2gantibonding in MOT

D.

egbonding in MOT

E.

egnonbonding in MOT

F.

egantibonding in MOT

Solution

t2g in LFT corresponds to - t2g nonbonding in MOT (option B)

eg in LFT corresponds to - eg antibonding in MOT (option F)

In the case of octahedral complexes, when we examine its MO diagram we find that the electrons initially present in the d-orbitals of the metal will enter into t2 nonbonding and eg antibonding (eg*) molecular orbitals and the difference in energy between the t2g nonbonding and eg* orbitals corresponds to ligand field stabilisation energy (LFSE).
