Jorgensens Parametric Representation of Ligand Field Splitting and Interelectronic Repulsion

For several MLg complexes with true octahedral symmetry, it is possible to estimate electronic properties empirically that agree quite well with data from electronic spectroscopy, based on the information in Table 5.24.34,45 example, one pre- 

As described below, the rule of average environments is invoked to predict electronic properties of mixed-ligand complexes with pseudo-octahedral symmetry. The concept of the magnitude of a cubic ligand field is appropriate for complexes that exhibit approximate cubic symmetry. For example, if represents a normalized
