Abstract The quantum chemical origin for the nonvalidity of Koopmans' theorem in transitionmetal compounds of the 3d series is analyzed by means of the Green's function formalism applied in the framework of a semiempirical INDO Hamiltonian. In the case of ferrocene (1), cyclobutadiene iron tricarbonyl (2) and irontetracarbonyl dihydride (3) the self-energy part of a geometric approximation has been partitioned into relaxation and correlation (pair removal, pair relaxation) increments. The breakdown of Koopmans' theorem for strongly localized MOs with large Fe 3d amplitudes is predominantly the result of electronic relaxation lowering the calculated ionization potentials. On the other hand the variation of the pair correlation energy in the cationic hole-state is by no means negligible and acts into the opposite direction as the relaxation increment. These significant pair relaxation contributions explain the wellknown failtures of the ΔSCF approach in combination with large scaleab initio bases. The loss of ground state pair correlation in the outer valence region is small in comparison to relaxation and pair relaxation. The magnitude of the aforementioned reorganization increments has been studied as a function of the localization properties of the MOs and as a function of the one-electron energies of the available particle- and hole-states. The computational findings derived with the INDO model are compared with recentab initio studies.
