Abstract

It is shown that for ligand fields in which the symmetries are subgroups of the full rotational group, the sequence and relative energies of the states with maximum spin are the same for d^n^ and d^5+n^ (n ≦ 5) configurations. Possibility of the generalization of this theorem t o other 1^n^ and 1^21+1+n^ configurations is discussed. As an example, wave functions and relative energies for the crystal field d‐states in a tetrahedral environment are given.
