ქიმიის ტერმინთა განმარტებითი ლექსიკონი

The removal of a degeneracy of the energy levels of molecules or ions due to the lower site symmetry
created by a crystalline environment.

Note 1: The term site splitting may be used more generally to refer to any effect due to differences in
energies of locations on a crystal.

Note 2: “Crystal field splitting” is sometimes incorrectly used synonymously with the term “ligand field
splitting”.
