It is shown through caloulations of the ionization energies of the Fe and Ru atoms that errors attributed to pseudo-potential defects in a recent paper by Leininger et al. [Chem. Phys. Letters 205 (1993) 3011 are due, instead, to shortcomings of their valence-interaction treatment. ' Present address

✦ Synopsis
We compared the molecular characteristics of the cation of diatomic metal hydrides of the group-8 atoms (FeH+, RuH+, OsH* ) calculated with the HF pseudo-potentials of Christiansen et al., Hay and Wadt, St011 and Preuss et al., and others. Atomic basis functions of comparable quality optimized for each pseudo-potential were used, and extensive configuration interactions were done. Ahhounh similar numbers were obtained for the spectroscopic constants and the wavefunctions in most cases, substantial deviations were shown for some.

Table of our paper showing calculated ionization energies of Fe, Ru and OS is given with correction. It is emphasized that the energy characteristics calculated using a pseudo-potential should be compared with other pseudo-potential or all-electron values calculated with a comparable basis set.
