## Abstract We have recently developed new nonrelativistic and scalar‐relativistic pseudopotentials for the first‐row transition metal and several main‐group elements. These improved Model Core Potentials were tested on a variety of transition metal complexes to determine their accuracy in reproduc

✦ Synopsis
Effective core potentials (ECPs) for first-row transition metals, constructed by including only 4s and 3d electrons in the valence space (Ar-core), show large errors in excitation energies. The origin of these errors and the influence of the electronic configurations taken as the starting point to generate potentials is analyzed. A modification to the construction of Ar-core ECPs is proposed which considerably reduces such errors.
