สรุป	X-ray crystallography is a technique that determines the three-dimensional atomic structure of crystals by analyzing the diffraction patterns produced when X-rays pass through them. Developed by William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg in 1912, X-ray crystallography has become the gold standard for structure determination in chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science, winning multiple Nobel Prizes for its profound impact.	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.
