Improved model core potentials for the second- and third-row transition metals

J Comput Chem. 2004 Jul 15;25(9):1206-13. doi: 10.1002/jcc.20044.

Abstract

New nonrelativistic and scalar-relativistic pseudopotentials for the second- and third-row transition metals have been developed. These improved Model Core Potentials were used in calculations for a variety of transition metal complexes to test their ability to reproduce experimental structures and vibrational frequencies.
