    Crystal field theory (CFT) explains the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and spectra of transition metal compounds by treating the central metal ion quantum mechanically and surrounding ligands as point charges creating an electrostatic field, without considering metal-ligand bonding. CFT provides a simple model for understanding octahedral transition metal complexes by representing the ligands as point charges that determine the octahedral crystal field splitting energy, Voct.
