Abstract
Recently developed ab initio pseudopotentials are employed to examine the molecular electronic structure of ZnF/sub 2/ in an LCAO-HF treatment. Comparison with a previous all-electron study reveals excellent agreement. Comparison with a pseudopotential treatment of ZnCl/sub 2/ shows, as expected, that the fluoride is far more ionic than the chloride; this seems to arise largely from more halide participation in the a/sub 2u/ nonbonding orbital.
