There is some distortion of the triplet and doublet components. In this case iH.Hi and MniH2 are comparable, A/voS = 1/8.2, and perturbation of energy levels calculated from first order considerations is to be expected. 

The next step is the definition of deep. The choice of quantitative values will again involve some arbitrariness. However, a further complication is that there is at present no universally accepted qualitative criterion. For instance, from the point of view of energy level calculations it is often convenient to define deep states as noneffective-mass-like or as those with a localized potential (see, for example, Bassani and Pastori Parravicini, 1975 Jaros, 1980). However, the disadvantage of this definition of deep is that it includes many isoelectronic states that are very shallow on an energy scale. On the other hand, if one uses an energy criterion, should the states be deep with respect to some fraction of the band gap, with respect to kT, or with respect to some shallow levels In this chapter we shall adopt an energy criterion for deep, and we shall require that our states be deep enough to be important in recombination. The importance of deep levels in recombination under many conditions of practical interest was already realized in the early work of Hall... 

Monoazaporphyrins, and their metal complexes, show absorption maxima at 380-410 nm (Soret, e as 105), 500-550 nm QS, eas 104) and 560-590 nm (a, as 104).177 Both a and / bands of the metal-free bases split into two with an interval of 35 nm and 50 nm respectively. Similarly, of 320-350 nm (Soret, e as 104), 530-550 nm (/ , as 104) and 570-600nm (a, as 104) are observed for the tetraaza analogues.178 Detailed energy level calculations were reported on metal-free and metallo porphyrazines.179... 

The energy level calculations, as described above, do not suffer from any restrictions from the point of view of symmetry. They can be done for any geometry of ligands the only issue is to establish a proper set of CF parameters. 

It is possible to model the vibronic bands in some detail. This has been done, for example, by Liu et al. (2004) forthe 6d-5f emission spectrum of Pa4+ in Cs2ZrCl6, which is analogous to the emission spectrum of Ce3+. However, most of the simulations discussed in this chapter approximate the vibronic band shape with Gaussian bands. The energy level calculations yield zero-phonon line positions, and Gaussian bands are superimposed on the zero-phonon fines in order to reproduce the observed spectra. Peaks of the Gaussian band are offset from the zero phonon fine by a constant. Peak offset and band widths, which are mostly host-dependent, may be determined from examination of the lowest 5d level of the Ce3+ spectrum, as they will not vary much for different ions in the same host. It is also common to make the standard... 

Figure 4.17 Correlations between transition energies of Fe2+ — Fe3+ IVCT bands and metal-metal distances of several mixed-valence minerals (modified from Mattson Rossman, 1987a). Circles edge-shared octahedra squares face-shared octahedra cross calculated from molecular orbital energy level calculations ( 11.7.3 Sherman, 1987a). The key to the symbols is given in table 4.2, p. 117.

The molecular orbital energy level calculations have yielded relative energies of OMCT transitions (Loeffler et al., 1974, 1975 Sherman, 1985a,b Sherman and Waite, 1985). Peak maxima are centred well into the ultraviolet region. However, since OMCT transitions are fully allowed by both the...
