Crystal Field Theory, in a tetrahedral complex, why would $d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$ be degenerated ? In terms of counting of repulsion
Imagine there are two tetrahedra. One is the actual one, and the other is inverted through the center to complete a cube. The $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and $d_{z^2}$ orbitals go through the face centers and tend ...

Why the colour of complexes is the complement of light absorbed?
Your question is not specific to chemical d-complexes.
Energy due photonic excitation is in general usually dissipated by non radiative means (aside of thermal radiation). The topic is covered by ...
