This lecture covers the impact of pi-donor and p-acceptor ligands on the ligand field splitting diagram, including the interaction of ligands with metal orbitals in coordination complexes. It explains the MO diagrams for Cu² in a σ-bonding complex, the spin calculation for different complexes, and the role of ligand lone pairs. The lecture also discusses the bonding of pi-donor ligands with metal d orbitals, the filling of p-orbitals, and the differences between high-spin and low-spin environments. Furthermore, it explores the interaction of ligands with metal d orbitals in octahedral complexes and the concept of π-donation in coordination chemistry.
