This interaction reveals the amount of split between e g and t 2g energy levels of the molecular orbitals that ultimately dictates the strength of field of the ligands. In a π-donor ligand, the SALCs of the ligands are occupied, hence it donates the electrons to the molecular σ σ* and π π* orbitals.
