Molecular-orbital calculation on the neutral mixed-valent platinum complex [(PtCl2)-Cl-II(en)][(PtCl4)-Cl-IV(en)]
The character of the photo-induced metastable state is investigated via molecular-orbital calculation. The anisotropic g-factor and the hyperfine coupling constants are simulated based on the extended-Huckel calculation. The most plausible environment around the metastable Pt-III is found to be a spin-soliton like state, whose spin-orbital mainly comprises one platinum and one chlorine atoms. The vibration mode of the elemental unit of the complex is calculated for both high- and low-temperature structures employing a density-functional method.
