Abstract
Self-consistent charge and configuration (SCCC) molecular orbital calculations are reported for 32 selected octahedral and tetrahedral first-row transition-metal complexes containing halide and chalcogenide ligands. It is found that for the range of metal oxidation states II through IV, Fsigma, chosen to fit the experimental Delta, is a function of only the metal atomic number for constant Fpi. In the range of formal metal oxidation numbers V through VII, Fsigma is also a function of oxidation number.Calculated and observed trends in covalency, Delta values, and first L-->M charge-transfer energies are compared. The conclusion is drawn that the molecular orbital method, in its present formulation, gives a reasonable account of the ground states and low excited states in simple metal complexes.
