(a) Explain why there is no distinction between low- and high-spin arrangements for an octahedral d8 metal ion. (b) Discuss the factors that contribute to the preference for forming either a high- or a low-spin d 4 complex. (c) How would you distinguish experimentally between the two configurations in (b)?
