Metal dithiolene complexes—M(dmit)2—are key building blocks for magnetic, conducting, and optical molecular materials, with singular electronic structures resulting from the mixing of the metal and dmit ligand orbitals. Their use in the design of magnetic and conducting materials is linked to the control of the unpaired electrons and their localized/delocalized nature. It has been recently found that UV–Vis light can control the spin distribution of some [Cu(dmit)2]−2 salts in a direct and reversible way. In this work, we study the optical response of these salts and the origin of the differences observed in the EPR spectra under UV–Vis irradiation by means of wave function-based quantum chemistry methods. The low-lying states of the complex have been characterized and the electronic transitions with a non-negligible oscillator strength have been identified. The population of the corresponding excited states promoted by the UV–Vis absorption produces significant changes in the spin distribution, and could explain the changes observed in the system upon illumination. The interaction between neighbor [Cu(dmit)2]−2 complexes is weakly ferromagnetic, consistent with the relative orientation of the magnetic orbitals and the crystal packing, but in disagreement with previous assignments. Our results put in evidence the complex electronic structure of the [Cu(dmit)2]−2 radical and the relevance of a multideterminantal approach for an adequate analysis of their properties.

Several quantum chemical methods including CASSCF/CASPT2, CCSD(T)-F12, and DFT were used to study electronic structures and excited states of germanium trimers singly doped with titanium. All necessary parameters and calculations process are reported in the text. The conclusion on electronic transitions causing anion photoelectron bands was made by analysis of electronic structures and comparison with experimental data (reported by an experimental group).

This contribution presents the results of the TD-DFT and CASSCF/CASPT2 calculations on [W(CO)4(MeDAB)] (MeDAB = N,N'-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadiene), [W(CO)4(en)] (en = ethylenediamine), [W(CO)5(py)] (py = pyridine) and [W(CO)5(CNpy)] (CNpy = 4-cyanopyridine) complexes. Contrary to the textbook interpretation, calculations on the model complex [W(CO)4(MeDAB)] and [W(CO)5(CNpy)] show that the lowest W→MeDAB and W→CNpy MLCT excited states are immediately followed in energy by several W→CO MLCT states, instead of ligand-field (LF) states. The lowest-lying excited states of [W(CO)4(en)] system were characterized as W(COeq)2→COax CT excitations, which involve a remarkable electron density redistribution between axial and equatorial CO ligands. [W(CO)5(py)] possesses closely-lying W→CO and W→py MLCT excited states. The calculated energies of these states are sensitive to the computational methodology used and can be easily influenced by a substitution effect. The calculated shifts of [W(CO)4(en)] stretching CO frequencies due to excitation are in agreement with picosecond time-resolved infrared spectroscopy experiments and confirm the occurrence of low-lying M→CO MLCT transitions. No LF electronic transitions were found for either of the complexes studied in the region up to 4 eV.

The crystal structures and martensitic transformation of Ti50Ni50−xPtx alloys (x = 0, 6.25, 8.33, 10.42, 12.5, 18.75, 25) were studied by means of density functional theory (DFT). The computational results indicate that the lattice parameters of Ti-Ni-Pt alloys continuously increase with increasing the Pt content. It is found that at ≤ 12.5 at.% Pt, the martensite structure is monoclinic B19′ phase, and the energy differences between parent and martensite phases (ΔE) decrease slightly with a minimum observed at 6.25 at.% Pt. However, when the Pt content is increased to around 15 at.%, the most stable martensite phase is the orthorhombic B19 structure, and the ΔE increases sharply with Pt concentration. It was found that the phase transition temperatures are closely related to the energy differences ΔE between parent and martensite phases. The electronic structures of martensite B19 and B19′ phases are also discussed.

The semiempirical SCF–LCAO–MO method of Pariser–Parr–Pople is utilized in the study of the π-electronic structures of thiophene, furan, and pyrrole. The core Hamiltonian expansion contains a Uz++ term, the potential due to the ionized hetero-atom contributing two electrons to the π-system. The γzz, one-center coulomb repulsion integral for the hetero-atom is evaluated from the experimental spectroscopic data only. With the resonance integral βczc as the only variable parameter, the calculated π*–π electronic transitions are in a satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.
