Which of the following complexes has CFSE = 0?

  1. Due to d5 configuration CFSE is zero.
  2. cis-platin
  3. [Cu(NH3)4]2+ hybridisation dsp2
  4. Cu2+ = 3d9 has one unpaired e−

Correct answer: Due to d5 configuration CFSE is zero.

Solution

A d5 configuration in a high-spin complex leads to equal distribution of electrons in t2g and eg orbitals, resulting in zero crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE).
