The Hartree–Fock stability problem, its relationship to the broken symmetry solutions, and the implications for a molecular nuclear framework distortion are briefly reviewed. The case where no nuclear framework distortion is possible is studied for the oxygen doubly negative ion, using an abinitio Slater-type orbital analytical approach, in order to illustrate other possible implications of the symmetry breaking in the independent particle models. It is shown that the existing pure singlet broken symmetry solutions for this ten electron ion, which were obtained earlier by adhoc procedures, follows systematically and straightforwardly from the HF stability problem for the corresponding symmetry adapted solution which shows a strong singlet instability. The chemical and physical implications of this type of symmetry breaking are briefly discussed.


Investigation of the Rb I absorption spectrum between 40 and 120 Å has revealed a broad absorption maximum in the 3d photoionization continuum, as well as discrete features associated with the excitation of a 3d-subshell electron. The discrete structure is identified, Hartree-Fock calculations of the transition energies are given and the absorption maximum is discussed in relation to similar spectra and to recent random phase approximation with exchange (r.p.a.e.) and independent particle model calculations.
