Abstract

Electron orbitals are ubiquitous in chemistry for the description of bonding and molecular properties. This article outlines a theoretical framework for the generation and application of orbitals for the analysis of the electronic structure, chemical bonding, and magnetic properties of metal complexes from relativistic quantum chemical wavefunction calculations. Examples from the author’s research of f-element complexes are used to illustrate these concepts, with emphasis on open-shell systems.
