Abstract
VANADIUM in the tri-positive oxidation state has two unpaired electrons in the 3d shell. The interaction of the crystalline electric field with the two d-shell electrons has been treated theoretically for fields of various symmetries1–3. Most of the information concerning the electronic structure of V3+ comes from work on compounds in which the metal ion is co-ordinated to six ligands.
