Abstract

One-electron energy levels of NiF 4−6 cluster, effective charges qNi and qF, parameters 10Dq,λ crys ,ɛ,f s ,f σ andf π were calculated using four alternative models of population analysis. The influence of the size of basis set was also investigated. Based on comparison of results it was shown that all evaluated quantities are dependent on the manner of division of overlap charge made up by virtual 4s and 4p nickel orbitals. To remove this discrepancy it was suggested to assign the whole 4s and 4p population to ligands. In this case all calculated parameters are nearly independent of a model of population analysis and the size of basis set and their values correspond better to experimental data.
