The discussion centers on the crystal field effect and its impact on level splitting, specifically for f-levels under various crystal symmetries such as O, Oh, and D4h. Participants express the need for detailed tables or handbooks that outline the level splitting for these symmetries, particularly for f and higher levels. The provided link to webqc.org is noted, but it lacks the necessary information for f-level splitting. A comprehensive resource for this topic is currently sought after by the community.
