Abstract
The conditions for the occurance of Mott insulation and its disappearance in transition metal compounds are investigated. It is found, that transition metal compounds with less than fived-electrons may be good examples of Mott Insulators, while those with more than fived-electrons should more properly be termed charge transfer compounds.
