Abstract
ODIN, a non-empirical INDO-MO scheme, has been used to determine the ground state electronic configurations for the tetrahedral molecules, VCl4 and VBr4. A 2 E ground state was obtained for both molecules. The Photoelectron spectrum and the electronic spectrum have been calculated for VCl4, and a satisfactory correlation with the corresponding experimental data was made. Also, ODIN was employed to evaluate electronic transition energies and the photoelectron spectrum of VBr4.
