Question:
Ligand field theory predicts that different types of metal ions will form more stable complexes with certain types of ligands. From your understanding of ligand field theory, predict what types of ligands (weak field or strong field) would form the more stable complexes with the early d-metals in their highest oxidation states. Likewise, predict the types of ligands that would form the more stable complexes of the late d-block metals (those to the right of the block) in their lowest oxidation states. Explain the reasoning for your choices.
