Π-acceptor Ligands: Those ligands which empty π-orbitals with correct symmetry to overlap with the metal t2g orbitals forming metal to ligand π-bonds are called π-acceptor ligands. Eg CO, CN- NO- etc
π-donor ligands : Those ligands which have filled π-orbitals with correct symmetry to overlap with the metal t2g orbitals forming ligand to metal π-bonds are called π-donor ligands eg.Halide ions, OH- NO3-
