p Donor Ligands (LàM)

All ligands are σ donors. Ligands with filled p or d orbitals may also serve as pi donor ligands.
Examples of p donor ligands are I-, Cl-, S2-, and CO32-. The filled p or d orbitals on these ions
interact with the t2g set of orbitals (dxy, dyz and dxz) on the metal to form bonding and antibonding
molecular orbitals.

The size of ∆o decreases, since it is now between an


antibonding t2g orbital and the eg* orbital.

This is confirmed by the spectrochemical series.


Weak field ligands are also pi donor ligands.
p Acceptor Ligands (MàL)

The metal uses the t2g set of orbitals (dxy, dyz and dxz)
to engage in pi bonding with the ligand. The p*
orbitals on the ligand are usually higher in energy
than the d orbitals on the metal.

The interaction causes the energy of the t2g bonding


orbitals to drop slightly, thus increasing the size of ∆o.
The Spectrochemical Series
Based on measurements for a given metal ion, the following series has been
developed:

I-<Br-<S2-<Cl-<NO3-<N3-<F-<OH-<C2O42-<H2O<NCS-<CH3CN<pyridine<NH3<en<bipy<phen
<NO2-<PPh3<CN-<CO

The complexes of cobalt (III) show the


shift in color due to the ligand.

NH3, (f) gly, (g) H2O, (h) ox2–, (i) CO3 2–.

Introduction
The elements constituting the f block are those in which the 4f and 5f orbitally progressively
filled. These elements are the member of group 3. The f block elements are also termed as
inner transition elements. It is because literally speaking they constitute transition series
within transition series (d-block elements). In addition to incomplete d-subshell, their f-
subshell is also incomplete. There are seven f-orbitals in a given shell. As much as fourteen
electrons can be occupied in a given f block series. The general electronic configuration of
the f block elements is (n–2)f1-14 (n–1)d0-1 ns2
