Which outcome inhibits catalytic function when d-orbital splitting is diminished?

💡 Explanation

Reduced d-orbital splitting leads to weakened metal-ligand interactions because the crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) decreases. Therefore, reactant adsorption is reduced, rather than enhanced diffusion or dissociation which needs stronger interactions.
