Abstract
The electronic spectra of the transition metal complexes CoF62-, RhF62 - and IrF62- that occur in the solids CS2MeF6 are calculated. Hartree- Fock and Dirac-Fock calculations followed by non-relativistic and rela tivistic CI calculations respectively are used to study the influence of relativity and electron correlation. The calculated transitions are found to agree fairly well with experiment, the largest discrepancies arising from the neglect of differential dynamical electron correlati on effects.
