question
| for octahedral complex, use a basis set consisting of... |
answer

question
| ligand field theory |
answer
| nothing other than orbital theory as applied to transition metal complexes, using the valence electrons on the metal and ligands |
question
| advantages of ligand field theory v. crystal field theory |
answer
| in ligand field theory, we can calculate the splittings, and the results are more realistic than with crystal field theory, showing the difference between a strong field and weak ligand field -allows one to describe more subtle interactions, such as those involving the pi orbitals on the ligands with the metal d-orbitals |
