Abstract
The excited states of tetrahedral anions which in their groundstate have a d° transition metal at the centre — such as VO4 3-, CrO 4 2-, MnO4 -, and similar compounds with 4d and 5d metals — have since long been the object of study. In an MO description the first excitation corresponds to the “charge-transfer” t1 → 2e, in which the t1 MO’s are linear combinations of 2p AO’s on the oxygens, and the 2e MO’s involve the dx2-y2 and dz2 AO’s on the metal (1). Four electronic states result, the energies of which have been predicted to lie in the order 1T2 > 1T1 > 3T2 ≅ 3T1 (2). In this picture the long-wavelength absorption band of such an ion is the crystal-field-induced 1T1 ← 1A1 transition while the second, much stronger band is the dipole-allowed 1T2 ← 1A1 transition.
