Spin-allowed transitions for d
3 ions are the following:
4A
2g 4T
2g (F),
4A
2g 4T
1g (F),
4A
2g 4T
1g (P). Then we have the
4A
2g 2E
g spin-forbidden transition. My questions are:
1. What is the difference between
4T
2g (F) and
4T
1g (F) states and why are their energies different?
2. What electron configuration corresponds to
2E
g? What is the distribution of electrons in t
2g and e
g orbitals in this state?
