Correct answer: 8000. CFSE Δ_0 of [CoCl_6]^(4-)=18000cm^(-1) CFSE Δ_t of [CoCl_4]^(2-)=? From formula, Δ_t=4/9×Δ_0 =4/9×18000 cm^(-1) =8000 cm^(-1)

The crystal field splitting energy (CFSE) for ${[C o C l_{6}]}^{4 -}$ is about 18000 $c m^{- 1}$ . What would be the CFSE value for $[C o C l_{4}]^{2 -}$ ?
