Abstract

Complete and restricted active space self-consistent field (CAS-/RAS-SCF) wave function methods are applied for the calculation of circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of a series of molecules comprising four organic ketones, the chiral cobalt(III) complex [Co(en)3]3+, and the europium(III) complex [Eu(DPA)3]3-. The ab initio results are in good agreement with the experimental data and previous results obtained with Kohn-Sham density functional theory in the case of the spin-allowed transitions. CD and CPL properties are calculated ab initio for the spin-forbidden transitions of both a transition metal and a lanthanide complex.
