Why are low spin tetrahedral complexes not formed?

 

Answers (1)

The crystal field splitting energy is very low for tetrahedral complexes. The crystal field splitting energy is lower than the pairing energy; therefore, the pairing of electrons is not favourable. Therefore, the complexes may not form low-spin complexes.
