The discussion centers on the calculation of crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) for d6 electron configurations in the context of crystal field theory, particularly in strong field cases. Participants explore the values attributed to CFSE and the reasoning behind them, questioning the treatment of pairing energy in the calculations.
Participants express differing views on the correct CFSE expression for d6 configurations, with no consensus reached on whether it should include 2p or 3p. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the appropriate treatment of pairing energy in this context.
Participants note that the calculations may depend on the specific metal-ligand complex and the spin state, which could influence the CFSE values. There are references to external materials that may provide additional context but do not resolve the disagreement.

flashmanbs said:my Q explain why the CFSE =-24Dq+2p at d6 not =-24Dq+3p?
like u see in fig. if we put the 6`th electron we have 3 paring set so we was should add 3p to the CFSE why we count them as 2P?
