Notes:
Despite their importance in the characterization of molecular magnetism, electronic g-tensors have received rather little theoretical attention. In this work, however, the ground-state g-tensor of MgF is computed at both the ROHF and multireference CI levels. The calculations are expanded complete to second order in appropriate Breit-Pauli terms and the contributions of all important magnetically coupled excited states are accounted for. Both the CI- and ROHF-level Δg∥-values (-59 and -55 ppm, respectively) are in agreement with experiment (-319 ± 500 ppm) within the range of experimental uncertainty. For Δg⊥, however, the ROHF treatment yields a value (-659 ppm) in substantial disagreement with experiment (-1319 ± 500 ppm). Fortunately, this discrepancy is alleviated by CI level treatment (Δg⊥ = -1447 ppm). © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
