The CASSCF and hybrid CASSCF–MRMP2 methods reproduce the ZFS tensors of spin-septet 2,4,6-trinitrenopyridines, focusing on the heavy atom effects on the spin–orbit terms of the tensors.

The magnetic-circular-dichroism (m.c.d.) spectra of methymyoglobin cyanide and oxidized horse heart cytochrome c were measured in the region of the Soret band over a range of temperatures from 1.5 to 50 K and in fields from 0 to 5T. A similar study has been made with reduced bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase, which contains one high-spin ferrous haem, namely a3. M.c.d. magnetization curves characteristic of an isolated Kramer's ground state with spin S = 1/2. These curves contrast with the magnetization curve of the high-spin ferrous haem with spin S = 2. The electronic ground state of the latter compound contains zero-field components that are thermally accessible over the temperature range of the experiment. Hence the magnetization curves are a complex nested set. The magnetization curves of the S = 1/2 proteins were analysed and it is shown that it is possible to make estimates of the ground-state g-factors even in the presence of rhombic anisotropy, provided that some knowledge of the polarizations of the electronic transitions is available. The striking difference between the m.c.d. magnetization curves of a simple S = 1/2 paramagnet and magnetically complex ground state should prove extremely useful when m.c.d. spectroscopy is sued to probe the magentic properties of metal centres in proteins, and should have wide application beyond the field of haemoproteins.
