"The Theory of Atomic Spectra," surrrrnanzlllg all that was then
known about the quantum theory of free atoms; and in 1961, J.S.
Griffith published "The Theory of Transition Metal Ions," in which
he combined the ideas in Condon and Shortley's book with those of
Bethe, Schlapp, Penney and Van Vleck. All this work, however, was
done by physicists, and the results were reported in a way which
was more accessable to physicists than to chemists. In the
meantime, Carl J. Ballhausen had been studying quantum theory with
W. Moffitt at Harvard; and in 1962 (almost simultaneously with
Griffith) he published his extremely important book, "Introduction
to Ligand Field Theory." This influential book was written from the
standpoint of a chemist, and it became the standard work from which
chemists learned the quantum theory of transition metal complexes.
While it treated in detail the group theoretical aspects of crystal
field theory, Carl J. Ballhausen's book also emphasized the
limitations of the theory. As he pointed out, it is often not
sufficient to treat the central metal ion as free (apart from the
influence of the charges on the surrounding ligands): - In many
cases hybridization of metal and ligand orbitals is significant.
Thus, in general. a molecular orbital treatment is needed to
describe transition metal complexes. However, much of the group
theory developed In connection with crystal field theory can also
be used in the molecular orbital treatment.
