Abstract
A program for the resolution of two-electron configurations defined on a multi-configuration |SLJMJ〉 basis is described. It is utilized for the resolution of the electronic structure of Pr3+ in PrCl3. General formulas for the calculation of the electrostatic, spin-orbit and crystal field interactions are given. Results involving 4f2 + 4f5d + 4f6p interaction are compared with calculations involving 4f2 + 4f5d or 4f2 + 4f6p only. All things being considered, the diagonalisation of the 4f2 + 4f6p matrix is the “cheapest” solution leading to an improved experimental/calculated energy level fit.
