As a relevant example, Figure 6.4 shows the room temperature absorption spectrum of Eu + in sodium chloride (NaCl). In this crystal, europium is incorporated in the divalent state, replacing Na+ lattice ions. The spectrum of Eu + ion in NaCl consists of two broad bands, centered at about 240 nm and 340 nm, which correspond to transitions from the ground state ( 87/2) of the 4f electronic configuration to states of the 4f 5d excited electronic configuration. In fact, the energy separation between...

More recently Men33 has proposed that electronegativity be defined in terms of the average one-electron energy of valence shell electrons in ground-state free atoms which may be obtained spectroscopically. This quantity is termed the configuration energy ... 

The starting point for most of the redox chemistry considered in this review is the nickel(II) ion. The nickel(II) ion has a d8 electronic configuration and, with weak-field ligands such as H20, it forms a six-coordinate ion with approximately octahedral symmetry and a paramagnetic (two unpaired electrons) 3A2 ground state. The characteristic solution chemistry of six-coordinate nickel(II) is well documented and, in particular, the substitution behavior has been extensively studied and is the subject of recent reviews (11, 12). It is a labile ion with solvent exchange rates around 104 sec-1 at 25°C and activation parameters are consistent with dissociatively activated interchange behavior (13). 

These matrix elements result in an additional energy correction which can be taken into account by the moves similar to those used when we took into account the interactions of the states with the fixed electron distribution with the states with the charge transfers between the subsystems. As previously, we consider the projection operator V on the single configuration ground state of the complex system ...
