A theoretical physicist who, with Yukito Tanabe, calculated electronic energy levels of transition-metal complex ions using crystal field theory. Their treatment considered different populations of the d shell in a cubic field. It supplied a framework for interpreting absorption bands and lines, connecting the local environment of an ion with the spectrum used to identify its electronic states.[ref]
