Abstract
Crystal field theory is a theory that describes the breaking of the degeneracy of electronic orbitals (that is, their energy levels are not longer identical) that occurs in transition metal coordination complexes, most often as a consequence of the presence of ligands. The theory is able to explain some magnetic and optical properties, in particular the colours, of such complexes.
