Popis: Data collected on the centroid shift of the 5 d -configuration of Ce 3+ in oxide and fluoride compounds were recently analyzed with a model involving the correlated motion between 5 d -electron and ligand electrons. The correlation effects are proportional to the polarizability of the anion ligands and it leads, like covalency, to lowering of the 5 d -orbital energies. By means of ab initio Hartree–Fock-LCAO calculations including configuration interaction the contribution from covalency and correlated motion to the centroid shift are determined separately for Ce 3+ in various compounds. It will be shown that in fluoride compounds, covalency provides an insignificant contribution. In oxides, polarizability appears to be of comparable importance as covalency.
