TLDR
In this paper, a single configuration model containing nonorthogonal magnetic orbitals is developed to represent the important features of the antiferromagnetic state of a transition metal dimer.Abstract:
A single configuration model containing nonorthogonal magnetic orbitals is developed to represent the important features of the antiferromagnetic state of a transition metal dimer. A state of mixed spin symmetry and lowered space symmetry is constructed which has both conceptual and practical computational value. Either unrestricted Hartree–Fock theory or spin polarized density functional theory, e.g., Xα theory, can be used to generate the mixed spin state wave function. The most important consequence of the theory is that the Heisenberg exchange coupling constant J can be calculated simply from the energies of the mixed spin state and the highest pure spin multiplet.read more

Mechanism of Ferromagnetic Coupling in Copper(II)-Gadolinium(III) Complexes
TL;DR: The qualitative mechanism of Kahn, assigned to the electron jump from 3d of Cu(II) to 5d shell of Gd(III), can be presented effectively as the cause of the phenomenon, if CASPT2 MOs are taken as magnetic orbitals, and the effective preponderance from ferromagnetic pathways is supported.

New Approach to the Theory of Superexchange Interactions
TL;DR: In this article, the theory of indirect exchange in poor conductors is examined from a new viewpoint in which the $d$ (or $f$) shell electrons are placed in wave functions assumed to be exact solutions of the problem of a single $d-electron in the presence of the full diamagnetic lattice.

Orbital interactions in metal dimer complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of geometrical distortions, electronegativity, and variation of substituents on the magnetic interaction in dimeric systems is examined in detail for singly bridged L,M-X-ML, (n = 3, 4, 5); Cu~C16~ and other doubly bridging species where the bridging ligands are halogens, OR, pyridine N-oxides, oxalate, squarate; and the acetate bridged dimers C u ~ (R C 0 0 ) 4.

Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems. III. Extension of the Hartree-Fock Scheme to Include Degenerate Systems and Correlation Effects
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the total wave function is approximated by a projection of a single determinant, the description of the system may be reduced to the ordinary Hartree-Fock scheme treating this determinant.

Scattered-Wave Theory of the Chemical Bond
TL;DR: In the self-consistent field (SCF)-Xα scattered-wave model that is also a first-principle technique, there is no basis set problem because Schrodinger's equation for an Xα potential is numerically integrated as discussed by the authors.
