✦ Synopsis


The X~U-SW-VB model has been applied to compute the singlet-triplet separation in the model complex [ (OH),Cu(p-0 )Cu( OH),] 6-whose geometric and bonding parameters were fixed at the values observed in the crystal strncture of YBaZCu#_v.

The calculations show that a strong antiferromagnetic interaction is operative between the copper centers modulated by the px orbitals of the bridging oxygen. The computed UV-visible electronic transitions are in agreement with spectra observed for high-T, superconductors.
