Abstract
All-electron, ab initio MC SCF calculations have been carried out for an octahedral cluster of six Ni atoms. The d band is found to be narrow, and lower in energy than the broad s band, indicating that the bonding is primarily due to the s electrons. This suggests that d electrons can be represented by a local description, justifying the use of one-electron ECP methods for this and similar systems.
