Investigating dsp2 & sp3 Configurations in Ni2+ Complexes

[QUOTE="TeethWhitener, post: 6343146, member: 511972"] I should clarify: octahedral compounds will have different electronic structures from tetrahedral and square planar compounds. So a square planar nickel compound very well may have a different spin configuration from an octahedral compound. But for the purposes of this particular question, it’s pretty clear (at least to me) that they were asking about octahedral complexes alone. Also, generally for tetrahedral complexes, t[SUB]2[/SUB] and e are more accurate labels reflecting the group symmetry (there is no gerade symmetry in the complex). This is moot for nickel square planar complexes, which do not have the 3-2/2-3 d-orbital splitting characteristic of octahedral or tetrahedral geometries. [/QUOTE]
