Magnetic Susceptibilities

An expression for the magnetic susceptibility of octahedral d1 complexes is derived exactly in terms of an orbital reduction factor k taking into account the presence of the formal 2E excited state. Sample calculations show that the improved expression gives results for susceptibility which are lower at times by several percent from those given by previous expressions. The results given by Figgis using Kotani's method are adequately precise when the spin–orbit coupling constant is no larger than ~0.1 Dq.

Band Origin

The Zeeman effect in the 2782.22 Å band of HCP has been observed and indicates the excited state is 3Δ1. A formula is derived for a 3Δ1 state, intermediate between case (a) and case (b), which expresses the Zeeman splitting as a function of J and the spin–orbit coupling constant. By applying this formula the spin–orbit coupling constant is found to be +22.3 or −16.0 cm−1, depending on whether the 3Δ state is normal or inverted. The rotational constant and band origin for these two cases are also computed.

Crystal Field Parameters

The absorption spectra of UCl5 single crystal were observed in the region between 0.6 and 2.4 μm at room, 77, and 4.2 K temperatures. Five pure electronic transitions were assigned at 11 665, 9772, 8950, 6643, and 4300 cm−1. The energy levels associated with these transitions were identified as the splittings of the 5f1 ground configuration under the influence of the spin–orbit coupling and a crystal field of C2v symmetry. The number of crystal field parameters was reduced by assuming the point-charge model where the positions of the ions were determined by X-ray crystallography. Then, the crystal field parameters and the spin–orbit coupling constant were calculated to be [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and ξ = 1760 cm−1. The vibronic analysis showed that the 90, 200, and 320 cm−1 modes were similar to the T2u(v6), T1u(v4), and T1u(v3) of an UCl6− octahedron, respectively.

Results of calculations of the spin-orbit coupling constant for 2 p , 3 p , 4 p , and 3 d shell ions and atoms are presented. The calculations are based on a theory developed in a previous paper. Excellent agreement of this theory with experiment is obtained for the 2 p and 3 d shell ions, while calculations using the familiar < ∂ V / r ∂ r > expression for the coupling constant lie 10 to 20 % too high. The exchange terms discussed in the earlier paper make a contribution to the coupling constant of the same sign and order of magnitude as the ordinary shielding terms. For the 3 p and 4 p shell atoms, the calculated coupling constants based on the exact theory and on the < ∂ V / r ∂ r > expression both tend to lie below the experimental values. An explanation for this disagreement is suggested, based on the noded nature of the outer-electron radial wave functions for these atoms. The importance of the residual-spin-other-orbit interaction is discussed, and it is shown that ignoring the form of this interaction may lead to a large variation in the coupling constant within a configuration.

An exact expression for the spin-orbit coupling constant is derived within the Hartree-Fock description of the atom by considering the two body mutual spin-orbit interaction between electrons. The interaction is rewritten in tensor operator form and the contribution of outer electron-core interactions to the coupling constant is calculated. We find that the usual expression < 3F/r8r > where V is the Hartree potential is only approximate, and that certain exchange type terms, which arise because we are dealing with a two-body interaction and determinantal wave function, must also be included. These exchange terms are not simply related to the ordinary electrostatic exchange. The resulting expression for the spin-orbit coupling constant is given in terms of radial integrals which can be calculated using Hartree or Hartree—Fock wave functions. We also discuss the effective magnetic Hamiltonian to be used for the calculation of matrix elements within an atomic configuration.
