Abstract
Using the formula including charge transfers on sites, the binding energy c all be described by the sum of the short-range energy, the on-site charge t ransfer energy and the long-range electrostatic energy. For discussing the 'ionic' contributions on the binding energy, Madelung energies are calculat ed for the complex compounds of 3d transition metal (M) and metalloid (B,Si ) of MB2, MSi2 and MSi and are compared to the heat of formation.
