An ab initio relativistic effective core potential calculation of elec
tronic wave function for the ground state ((2) Sigma) of a YbF molecul
e is carried out followed by the restoration of molecular four-compone
nt spinor behavior in the core region of ytterbium in the framework of
a nonvariational procedure. The constructed spinors are used to evalu
ate the spin-rotational Hamiltonian parameters including P- and P, T-o
dd terms of the molecule.
