Abstract

Electron-spin magnetic moments, in the form ofg-shifts, have been computed at the ROHF level for theX2∑+ states of LiH+, BeH2+, LiH−, BeH and BH+. A perturbative approach, complete to second-order in appropriate Breit-Pauli operators, has been used. Retention of two-centre integrals has proven vital. First-order terms are important, especially in describing the negativeg∥ shifts observed experimentally in2∑+ molecules. The relativistic mass correction dominates in first-order, except for LiH− where the two-electron spin-Zeeman gauge correction supersedes. Second-order terms contribute negatively, and only to the Δg⊥ component. Along the isoelectronic series LiH− → BeH → BH+, the magnitude of Δg⊥ increases due to the dependence of spin-orbit coupling on nuclear charge. The relation ofg-shifts to electronic structure and bonding is explored.
