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.
