The electronic structure of bound excitons involving native- as well a
s point-defects is investigated by optical spectroscopy using highly c
rystalline ZnSe samples grown by the Markov method. We demonstrate tha
t the interactions of attendent single particles is responsible for th
e splitting of the (D0, X) and (A0, X) states. From these splittings t
he hole-hole interaction parameter gamma and the cubic crystal-field p
arameter beta for the Li bound exciton complex has been determined una
mbiguously for the first time. The I1d emission line shows a fine stru
cture which is similar to the I1Li exciton line. I1d is therefore assi
gned to an acceptor-bound exciton recombination with an associate form
ed by a zinc vacancy and an impurity donor combined acting as an accep
tor.
