Correlation effects and the metal–ligand bond length in Cr(NO)4

Abstract
Optimization of the metal–nitrogen distance in Cr(NO)4 at the Hartree–Fock level yields a bond length 0.07 Åshorter than the experimental value of 1.763 Å; MCSCF calculations show that this error arises from near-degeneracy effects involving the (t2,e) metal–ligand bonding M.O.s and the corresponding antibonding orbitals.
