Metal 3d to ligand hybridization in Td

asked by Guillaume Radtke (2019/05/21 10:22)

Dear Quanty Developers,

I would like to include metal/ligand hybridization in the calculation of a TM L23 edge in Td symmetry and I wonder how to include it in Quanty. More specifically, my problem lies in the fact the (12) 2p ligand orbitals decompose according to a1 + t1 + e + 2*t2 in Td. What would be the “cleanest” to account for the ligand in this case ? Forget about symmetry ? Or add two “ligand d shells” and find a way to remove one set of e orbitals ?

Thank you in advance for your answer,

Best Regards,

G. Radtke
