Abstract SCCEHMO calculations show that the ground state in [Fe(dtc)2X], X = Cl, Br, I and NCS, is 4A2: (x2 - y2)2(xz)1(yz)1(z2)1(xy)0 and for X = NO is 2A1: (xz)2(yz)2(x2-y2)2(z2)1(xy)0. The calculated quadrupole splittings of iron and iodine included the valence shell, overlap charge, and the ligand and lattice contributions to the EFG tensor at the nuclei. In addition, the elec-tron densities at the iron nucleus are compared with the measured isomer shifts. The spin densi-ties may be interpreted in terms of a π-delocalization. The results are discussed on the basis of the molecular orbital energy level schemes.
