The following points will clearly state the limitations of crystal field theory: The assumption that the interaction between metal-ligand is purely electrostatic cannot be said to be very realistic. ... Therefore it cannot explain any properties related to ligand orbitals and their interaction with metal orbitals.

Crystal field theory is based on the assumption that the interaction between the metal ions and the ligands is purely electrostatic in nature. When the ligands approach the central metal atom or ion, the five degenerate d-orbitals of the central atom become differential that is they split into different energy levels under the influence of electrostatic field of ligands.
