Notes:
Optical excitation energies of MnO-4, CrO2-4, and RuO4 are calculated using the density functional methodology. A short outline of some important developments in this theory for the determination of excited-state properties is given. A practical working procedure for the calculation of transition energies including multiplet splitting is described. This method is based on a transition-state approach which is connected, as will be shown, to Slater's transition-state concept. Results obtained by this working procedure are compared to the energy differences between separately converged configurations of ground and excited states and the corresponding multiplet structure, denoted as the ΔSCF calculation in the following. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
