Authored annotation
specializes electronic structure to coordinated metal centers
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.
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.
