Abstract:
A method for calculating the ℬ term of magnetic circular dichroism utilizing time-dependent density functional theory is presented. The expression for the ℬ term is formulated through the standard sum-over-states approach, and all necessary matrix elements and transition energies are provided by the time-dependent density functional theory calculation. Test calculations of the magnetic circular dichroism spectra of ethene, propene, furan and its heavier homologues, and pyrrole and two of its derivatives are presented. The discrepancy between theory and experiment previously observed for ethene is not resolved, but the experimental spectra of the aromatic compounds are very well reproduced by the theory.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
