In the present work, the ZORA spin–orbit Hamiltonian, in conjunction with the gauge including orbital (GIAO) method based on DFT theory has been used to calculate ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shift of ¹⁹⁵PtClxBr6–x²⁻ complexes. Excellent agreement with experiments has been obtained for calculations bearing on optimized geometries and all electrons triple zeta +...

The electronic structure of Eu2+ compounds results from a complex combination of strongly correlated electrons and relativistic effects as well as weak ligand–field interaction. There is tremendous interest in calculating the electronic structure as nowadays the Eu2+ ion is becoming more and more crucial, for instance, in lighting technologies. Recently, interest in semiempirical methods to...
