Notes:
Structural features of a series of tetraatomic carbonyls in the 1,3nπ* states are studied by using a recently proposed MCSCF algorithm at the INDO/2 level. The computed geometrical parameters and the inversion barrier heights agree quite well with the available experimental or ab initio theoretical data. The calculated transition energies turn out to be somewhat lower than the experimental counterparts. The specific MCSCF algorithm used is found to have excellent convergence properties.
