Field Potential and Basis Functions

Next in importance to the cubic term in the ligand field potential is a term having tetragonal (axial) symmetry. For example, the ligands may be located at x = a, y = a, z = b, with a b. Such an environment, which departs from cubic s3onmetry by a distortion along the z-axis, is described by a potential, Vt, of the form (40) [Pg.44]

The potential Vt is invariant under the operations of the group D4h whose characters are listed in Table 6. However, since d-electrons generare representations of even parity only, we may refer to the simpler group D4 whose characters are also contained in Table 6. Moreover, since an irreducible representation in O is generally a reducible representation in D4, it is possible, with the help of the character table andEqs. (42 and 46), to decompose the e- and t2-representations in O into irreducible representations in D4. The results are [Pg.44]
