    Unlike VSEPR theory, the Kepert model does not account for non-bonding electrons. Therefore, the geometry of the coordination complex is independent of the electronic configuration of the metal center. Thus [MLn]m+ has the same coordination geometry as [MLn]m−. The Kepert model cannot explain the formation of square planar complexes or distorted structures
