Ligand Field Analysis
Ligand Field Theory (LFT) is an advanced model of metal-ligand bonding that combines crystal field theory with molecular orbital theory. Developed systematically by Brian Norman Figgis and others from the 1960s onward, LFT provides quantitative predictions of electronic structure, magnetism, spectra, and reactivity of coordination complexes, bridging the gap between qualitative crystal field arguments and rigorous quantum mechanics.
