Crystal Field Theory (CFT) is a model that describes the breaking of degeneracies of electron orbitalstates, usually d or f orbitals, due to a static electric field produced by a surrounding charge distribution (anion neighbors).
Complexes such as this are called "low spin". For example, NO2− is a strong-field ligand and produces a large Δ. The octahedral ion [Fe(NO2)6]3−, which has 5 d-electrons, would have the octahedral splitting diagram shown at right with all five electrons in the t2g level.
