Abstract
The bonding in transition metal complexes has been described by three different theories: crystal field theory (CFT), valence bond theory (VBT), and molecular orbital theory (MOT). Detailed descriptions of these three approaches are given in the standard inorganic texts and are not repeated here. However, some general statements concerning the applicability of these various bonding descriptions for metal π-complexes are noted.
