    The Jahn Teller effect occurs when a non-linear complex with a degenerate and asymmetrically filled ground electronic configuration will distort its shape to remove the orbital degeneracy, such as an octahedral complex distorting to a square planar shape or a square pyramid complex undergoing axial contraction.

    Jahn Teller Effect occurs when the ground electronic

    configuration of a non linear complex is orbitally


    degenerate, and asymmetrically filled, causing the complex
    to distort so as to remove the degeneracy

    Oh = octahedral
    Td= tetrahedral
    D4h - Jahn teller to square planar
    C4v - square pyramid

    For square pyramid: = axial contraction.
