Abstract

Multiple scattering Xα wavefunctions are used in connection with irreducible tensor operators to calculate the many-electron CI matrices, needed to predict the energies of ligand-field multiplet states. A non-muffin-tinned form of the Xα charge distribution (charge-partitioning procedure of Case and Karplus) is used to evaluate the Coulomb an exchange integrals in terms of the Griffith’s parameters. The energies of the ligand-field excited states of CrF6 3− and CrCl6 3− are thus predicted and compared with experiment.
