Abstract
The energy levels of the free 3dn ions are reasonably well documented, though this is not true for the 4dn and 5dn ions.1 Each dn configuration is characterized by a number of terms according to the values of the total spin and orbital quantum numbers (S and L), (2S + 1)L, in the Russell-Saunders coupling scheme. This scheme is adequate for treating most features of 3dn ions. The degeneracy of the terms is removed by repulsions between the d electrons and the resultant energy separations are described very well by the parameters F2, F4 and αL(L + 1), for the 3dn ions.2
