Using the recently proposed reciprocal mean for the semi-empirical evaluation of resonance integrals, as well as approximate SCF wave functions for Co3+, the one-electron molecular energy levels of Co (NH3) 3+, Co (NH3) 5Cl2+, and Co (NH3) 4Cl21+ have been redetermined within the WOLFSBERG–HELMHOLZ approximation. The outcome of the study fits remarkably well with the observed electronic transitions in the u.v. spectra of these complexes and prompts different band assignments than previously suggested.


The general variational method is applied to the problem of calculating magnetic shielding constants in molecules. Using approximate variation functions together with simple molecular-orbital and valence-bond wave functions calculations have been made for the molecules hydrogen, methane, ethylene and acetylene. An approximation using the calculated diamagnetic susceptibility is used for electrons which are not localized near the magnetic nucleus considered. The results are in good agreement with experiment and in particular it is shown that the shielding constant for acetylene should lie between those for methane and ethylene.


As a step towards an understanding of chemical bonds in diatomic molecules which contain unlike atoms, a theory of paired electrons in the presence of two unlike attractive centres has been worked out. The essential feature of the method is that the field of these centres is expressed as a sum of two fields, one of which is symmetrical and the other antisymmetrical in the plane midway between the two centres. A formal solution having been provided in earlier papers for the wave functions and energies of two electrons in the symmetrical part of the field, this is used as a basis for a perturbation method to calculate the effect of the antisymmetric part of the field.
