A: nonstandard approach to the solution of vibronic equations for the pseud
o-Jahn-Teller effect is suggested for the bicyclic copper(II) complexes con
taining tetrahedrally distorted chelate cores. The representation of the vi
bronic wave function as a series in Hermite polynomials: reduces the soluti
on of a set of differential equations to the solution of an infinite system
of uniform algebraic equations. The method is suggested for the approximat
e solution of this system. It allows the ground-state vibronic wave functio
n to be determined for the practically important case of strong vibronic co
upling. It is shown that a certain continuous set of wave functions with di
fferent parameters may satisfy vibronic equations, thus providing possibili
ty of explaining the nature of the effects responsible for the EPR line bro
adening and disappearance of the paramagnetic absorption signals.
