Abstract
The cobalt based valence tautomer molecules, such as Co(SQ)2, were discussed using density functional theory (DFT) and variational configuration interaction (VCI) approaches. It was found that the charge transfer picture based upon formal valence arguments succeeded qualitatively while failing quantitatively. The analysis suggested that the high-temperature, high spin phase was strongly mixed valent, with about 30% admixture of Co (II) into the predominantly Co(II) ground state.
