Yet they were originally derived from crystal field theory, which contains a logical flaw; electrons on the magnetic ions are distinguished from those on the ligands. Thus there is a challenge: to replace crystal field theory with one of equal or greater predictive power that is based on a surer footing. The theory developed in this book begins with a generic Hamiltonian UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=790826 ER -
