β¦ Synopsis
Semi-empikl
Wolfsberg-Helmholz molecular orbital (WHMO) calculations were performed on some octahedral com-pIcxes of second-row transition ions employing the approximations of ii) Basch and Gray and (ii) Cotton and Harris, for calctiting the valence orbital ionization potentials (VOIP's) of the metal. A critiwl analysis indicates that the latter approximation gives better results in general. A charge dependence of the overlap was found to be necessary when the self-consisten: charges were not very close to inte@ numbers. An attemp; has also been made to interpret the optical spectra of these complexes. The rhodium complexes exhibit crystal-field bands while there is considerable overlapping of crystal-field and charge-transfer bands in the r&henium complexes.
