Abstract
Using recently published analytical SCF wave functions for xenon, the one-electron molecular orbital energies of xenon tetrafluoride have been re-determined in the Wolfsberg-Helmholz semi-empirical approximation. Unlike similar previous investigations, the present study takes into consideration ligand-ligand overlap, and uses the recently proposed reciprocal mean for the semi-empirical evaluation of the resonance integrals. The outcome of the study fits remarkably well with the observed electronic transitions in the far u.v. spectrum of XeF4.
