For a trigonal bipyramidal coordination complex (ML5), the correct point group symmetry and the relative order of the energies of the 3d orbitals in that crystal field, respectively, are:
- 1D3h; dz2 > dx2-y2, dxy > dxz, dyz✓
- 2D3d; dx2-y2 > dz2 > dxy > dxz, dyz
- 3D3d; dz2 > dx2-y2, dxz > dxy, dyz
- 4D3h; dx2-y2 > dz2, dxy > dxz, dyz
Correct answer
D3h; dz2 > dx2-y2, dxy > dxz, dyz
