Question

octahedral site stabilization energy of spinels and inverse spinels?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between the LFSE values in octahedral and tetrahedral geometries is referred to as Octahedral Site Stabilization Energy (OSSE).

If the BIII ion has more CFSE gain in octahedral site than that of AII ion, a normal spinel structure is expected.

· inverse spinel structure is driven primarily by the crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) of ions in the tetrahedral and octahedral sites.
