Because the t sub-2g orbitals are located between bond axes while the e sub-g orbitals are along the axes, the former occur at a lower energy in an octahedral field.
Because the t sub-2g orbitals are located between bond axes while the e sub-g orbitals are along the axes, the former occur at a lower energy in an octahedral field. This is often seen in Copper (II) complexes with 3 electrons in the e sub-g level, creating a degenerate state in the lowest energy level that is removed by distortion. Occurring in spontaneous and static fashions, for ten points, this effect results in the elongation or compression of an axis of a formerly symmetric ion to achieve the lowest overall energy.
