Slide 1: Introduction to Ligand Field Theory and Carbonyl Compounds

  • Ligand Field Theory (LFT) explains the bonding and properties of transition metal complexes.
  • LFT considers the interaction between the metal ion (central atom) and the surrounding ligands.
  • Carbonyl compounds contain a carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O) and are common ligands in coordination chemistry.
