Abstract:
The role of valence and semicore correlation in differentially stabilizing the intermediate spin state of Fe(II)-porphyrins is analyzed. For CASSCF treatments of valence correlation, a (32,34) active space containing metal 3 d, d' orbitals and the entire π system of the porphyrin is necessary to stabilize the intermediate spin state. Semicore correlation provides a minor (-1.6 kcal/mol) but quantitatively significant correction. Accounting for valence, semicore, and correlation beyond the active space enlarges the (3 E g-5 A1 g) spin gap to -5.7 kcal/mol.

Electron Behavior
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that are attracted to an orbit around the positively-charged nucleus of an atom. They reside in locations that are associated with energy levels called shells and are further organized into sub-shells and orbitals within each shell.
Electrons Orbit the Nucleus
Electrons are found in specific locations outside of the nucleus. The shell in which an electron resides indicates the general energy level of the electron: those closer to the...
