Abstract

Special features of the crystal field splitting of d-levels in the transition metal compounds with small or negative charge-transfer gaps Delta(CT) are considered. We show that in this case the Coulomb term and the covalent contribution to the t(2g)-e(g) splitting have different signs. In order to check theoretical predictions we carried out ab initio band structure calculations for Cs(2)Au(2)Cl(6), in which the charge-transfer gap is negative, so that the d-electrons predominantly occupy low-lying bonding states. For these states the eg-levels lie below the t(2g) ones, which demonstrates that at least in this case the influence of the p-d covalency on the total value of the crystal field splitting is stronger than the Coulomb interaction (which would lead to the opposite level order). We also show that the states in the conduction band are made predominantly of p-states of ligands (Cl), with a small admixture of d-states of Au.
