    Crystal field theory (CFT) was the first theory to explain the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and spectra of transition metal compounds. CFT considers only the central metal ion quantum mechanically and approximates ligands as point charges that exert an electrostatic field on the metal ion, neglecting metal-ligand bonding. CFT provides a quantitative treatment for determining the octahedral crystal field splitting energy (Voct) of metal ions subjected to an octahedral ligand field.
