What are pi-donors ligands give the examples?

Ligands such as OR−, F−, and Cl− are π donors as a result of the lone pairs that are left after one lone pair has formed the M−L σ bond. Instead of stabilizing the dπ electrons of a d6 ion as does a π acceptor, these electrons are now destabilized by what is effectively a repulsion between two filled orbitals.

What are the inverse spinel structures?

  INVERSE SPINEL STRUCTURE (Fe3O4-Magnetite):

In Fe3O4, Fe+2 and Fe+3 ions are present in the ratio 2:1. it may be considered as having composition FeO.Fe2O3. In Fe3O4 Oxide arranged in ccp. Fe+2 ions occupy octahedral voids while Fe+3 ions are equally distributed between octahedral and tetrahedral voids
MgFe2O4 also has structure similar to magnetite. In this Mg+2 ions are present in place of Fe+2 ion in Fe3O4. Magnetite has inverse spinet structure.
