Which consequence results due to increased electron shielding in transition metal complexes?

A)Laporte selection rule relaxation
B)Increased covalent bond strength
C)Increased crystal field splitting
D)Enhanced diamagnetic susceptibility

💡 Explanation

The relaxation of the Laporte selection rule occurs because increased electron shielding weakens selection rules by reducing the symmetry restrictions. Because dipole transitions become partially allowed; therefore, the intensity of d-d transitions increases, rather than decreased splitting due to stronger fields.
