Abstract Selected examples (d n systems) are presented to illustrate the interpretation of ligand field spectra (remission spectra) of solid inorganic compounds. In particular, this article demonstrates possible means for the investigation of weak cooperative interactions between transition metal coordination polyhedra and for the determination of the cation distribution in crystal lattices. The information value of the spectroscopic method to the chemist is critically discussed.
