Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) 4: Low-Spin Example

The video tutorial covers the analysis of a hexa carbonyl nickel 3 complex, starting with the calculation of the oxidation state and the number of D electrons. It then explores whether the complex is high spin or low spin, followed by drawing the crystal field diagram and calculating the crystal field stabilization energy. The tutorial concludes with an introduction to tetrahedral complexes, highlighting the differences in their splitting diagrams.
