The difference in energy between the two d
levels (eg and t2g) in a octahedral field is given
either of the symbols Δo or 10 Dq.

The term Dq is derived from quantum mechanics and is product of two terms D (L=2) and q and is called Differential of
quanta (implying the energy).

The crystal field splitting produced by the strong field like CN- ions is about double
that for weak field ligands like the halide ions.

In 3d transition metal ions, the values of 10 Dq for M3+ complexes are approximately
50% larger than the values for M2+ complexes

The value of 10 Dq also increases by about 30% between adjacent members
down a group for the transition elements
8. 4) Number of Ligands
• The magnitude of crystal field splitting(10 Dq)
increases with the increase of the number of
ligands.
