The electronic spectra of complexes are especially informative if they are recorded for crystals at low temperature or at varying temperature with polarized light. This straightforward technique frequently permits reliable band assignment. Such assignments, being independent of the assumptions of any particular theoretical model, then provide a basis for testing theories of electronic structure.
