Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Ligand-field theory retains symmetry-based splitting while adding molecular-orbital covalency.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Ligand-field theory is a reduced electronic-structure framework for coordination complexes that incorporates symmetry and covalent mixing while omitting much of a full many-electron calculation.
