Key Points: Crystal Field Theory (CFT)

CFT is an electrostatic model that considers the metal-ligand bond to be ionic, arising purely from electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and the ligand (treated as point charges for anions, or point dipoles for neutral molecules).

CFT considers the effect of ligands on the relative energies of the d-orbitals of the central metal atom/ion.

If Δ₀ < P, 4th electron will enter eg giving the configuration \[t_{2g}^3e_{g}^1.\] Ligands for which Δ₀ < P are called weak field ligands.

If Δ₀ > P, pairing will occur in the t2g orbitals and eg orbitals will remain vacant. So, the configuration for 4th e⁻ will be \[t_{2g}^4e_{g}^0.\]. For Δ₀ > P, ligands are strong field ligands.
