Abstract

The electronic spectra of the transition metal complexes CoF2-, RhF 2- and IrF~- that occur in the solids CszMeF6 are calculated. Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Fock calculations followed by non-relativistic and relativistic CI calcu- lations respectively are used to study the influence of relativity and electron correlation. The calculated transitions are found to agree fairly well with experi- ment, the largest discrepancies arising from the neglect of differential dynamical electron correlation effects.
