Hello , Difference between strong and weak field ligands are as follows :

Strong Field Ligands :

  • These ligands have more field strength
  • These ligands may cause rearrangement of d electrons in metal
  • They generally form low spin or inner orbital complexes
  • For these ligands splitting energy > pairing energy

Weak Field Ligands :

  • Ligands of less field strength
  • These do not cause rearrangement of d electrons in metal.
  • They generally form high spin or outer orbital complexes.
  • For these ligands splitting energy < pairing energy.
