✦ Synopsis
Charge-transfer (CT) transitions in CuCI$-and CuBr:-are studied through SCF MS Xo calculations (using overlapping spheres and the Norman procedure) at different values of the metal-ligand distance, R. The calculated values of three CT transitions agree with experiment for CuCl:-and explain the blue-shifts detected on going from (N-mpH)&uCl~ to (creat),CuCl, as being due to the decrease of the average R value. The allowed CT bands of CuBr:-are predicted to undergo a red-shift of = 7000 cm-' with respect to those of CuCli-in agreement with the optical electronegativity scale. The present work predicts that the two 3eU-+3b,, and 2e,-+3b,, transitions are more sensitive to R than their energy separation, d(x, o), in accordance with results on LiCI:Cu*+, and supports a value for the 3d charge in the 3b,, level of CuB$ of close to 50%.
