In the presence of octahedral crystal field splitting (with a configuration), there are two possible states for compounds: high spin ( ) and low spin ( ). Depending on the system, high spin or ...

Crystal Field Theory indeed becomes attractive when one has spectroscopy as a tool. The crystal field splitting is a measurable quantity. From various experiments, one can establish an empirical scale that ranks ligands according to increasing crystal field splittings:

An Introduction to Crystal Field Theory ... To predict the splitting pattern of the energy of the d-orbitals under a tetrahedal crystal field you may once again find it convenient to consider how the ligands can fit into a cube to give a tetrahedron. ... Crystal Field Theory (CFT), An Introduction.

This is an explanation of ligand crystal field theory, discussing an octahedral enviroment and the d-orbital splitting. ... Crystal Field Theory is based upon the effect of a perturbation of the d-orbitals consisting of electronic interaction between the metal cation nucleus and the negatively charged electrons of the ligands:

At almost exactly the same time that chemists were developing the valence-bond model for coordination complexes, physicists such as Hans Bethe, John Van Vleck, and Leslie Orgel were developing an alternative known as crystal field theory.

; Crystal field theory is a way of explaining the electronic structure and thus the color of complexes. In a complex, the central metal ion has no s electrons: it has electrons in the d orbitals.

Introduction to Crystal Field Theory ... According to crystal field theory, Co+2 and its ligands ( ) exhibit electrostatic attractions along X,Y,Z axes. However, electrons in d-orbitals of Co+2 are repelled by negative charges of the ligands and therefore experience increase in potential energy.
