Complexes with this geometry are stabilized by an energy of 2.44 delta. Their d orbitals are split into four levels, with the d sub xz and d sub yz orbitals being degenerate. Compounds with this shape can have geometric but not optical isomers, and it's not trigonal bipyramidal but addition to compounds with this geometry has an (*) intermediate that undergoes Berry pseudorotation. Low-spin d-8 complexes have this geometry, which is shared by Wilkinson's catalyst, Vaska's complex, and cisplatin. Removing two ligands from an octahedral complex gives this geometry. For 10 points, name this geometry, which has a central atom with four ligands at
