Inverted ligand field theory (ILFT) is a theoretical framework used to understand the electronic structure and behavior of transition metal complexes, particularly in the context of their crystal field environments. It is a modification of traditional ligand field theory (LFT), which focuses on the effects of the surrounding ligands on the energy levels of metal d-orbitals.
