Crystal Field stabilization energy, chemistry homework help

1)  Consider the data for the following metal complexes. Determine d electron count, and calculate the CFSE for each metal complex, including pairing energy. Based on your results, assign each complex to being either high spin or low spin, and explain briefly your reasoning.

Complex          (Δo, cm-1)     (Pairing E, cm1)

[Fe(OH2)6]2+      10,400                 17,600    

[Fe(CN)6]4        32,850                  17,600
