Abstract
The Application of a Unified Ligand Field Model, comprizing the effects of covalence as well as ionicity, to the dd transitions observed for the pentachlorovanadate (IV) ion, having C 2v symmetry, is illustrated. The charges on the equatorial and axial chlorines are the only two parameters obtained from the data; all others are calculated ab initio. The effect of covalence and ionicity is discussed; the latter dominates. The spectrum is adequately accounted for in terms of this model.
