Summary

Recently published nonrelativistic and quasirelativistic energy-adjustedab initio pseudopotentials representing the M(Z−28)+ cores of the second row transition metal atoms and the M(Z−60)+ cores of the third row transition metal atoms have been tested in SCF, CI(SD) and CEPA1 calculations of the spectroscopic constants (R e ,D e , and ω e ) of the ground states of the neutral and singly charged silver and gold dimers, and in state averaged CASSCF and multi-reference CI(SD) calculations of the spectroscopic constants (R e ,D e , ω e , μ e , ∂μ/∂R). Comparison is made with experimental and reliable theoretical data where available; in the case of the hydrides, additional calculations with pseudopotentials published by other groups have been made for comparison.
