Jahn-Teller effect is not observed in high spin complexes of:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The Jahn-Teller effect occurs in non-linear molecules with electronically degenerate ground states (unevenly filled or orbitals). (high spin): (Uneven , shows J-T). (high spin): (Uneven , shows J-T).: (Uneven , shows strong J-T).: . Here, is completely filled and is half-filled (symmetrical). There is no electronic degeneracy, so no Jahn-Teller effect is observed.
