g- and hyperfine tensors relative to each other and to the molecular framework for
MoXLCl2 complexes provided good agreement between theory and single-crystal
electron paramagnetic resonance experiments, where available. In these cases, the
calculated molybdenum hyperfine tensor orientations are influenced only slightly by
spin–orbit coupling effects. The cis,trans-(L-N 2 S 2 )Mo
V OCl complex of [74] was
also re-investigated using unrestricted Kohn–Sham DFT together with hybrid functionals with neglect of scalar relativistic effects on HFC and g-tensors, as well as
higher-order SO effects on g-tensors. The BP86 results (2.026, 1.967, 1.952) are
almost identical to those of the previous work [74]. Admixture of 40% HartreeFock exchange to give the BPW91-40HF functional gave g-tensor principal values
of 2.015, 1.953 and 1.939 which are slightly closer to the experimental results compared to INDO/S or BP86. The tensor components g 2 and g 3 become too small at
even 20% of exact exchange whereas the shift of g 1 is still too large at 40% exchange.
