Importance of Direct Spin--Spin Coupling and Spin-Flip Excitations for the Zero-Field Splittings of Transition Metal Complexes: A Case Study.

This work reports the evaluation of several theoretical approaches to the zero-field splitting (ZFS) in transition metal complexes. The experimentally well-known complex [Mn(acac)] is taken as an example. The direct spin–spin contributions to the ZFS have been calculated on the basis of density func...
