The feature is-
The interaction between a transition metal and ligands arises from the attraction between the positively charged metal cation and negative charge on the non-bondingelectrons of the ligand.

Hey dear,
● Crystal field theory (CFT) -
- It describes the breaking of orbital degeneracy in transition metal complexes due to the presence of ligands.
● Salient features of CFT -
- Metal ion and ligands are considered point charges.
- These interact by ionic (electrostatic) bonding.
- Ligands can be either negative point charges or neutral dipoles.
- Central metal ion is surrounded by ligands with 1/more lone pairs of electrons.
- There is no orbital overlap between metal ion and ligand.
Hope this helps you...
