The excitation and ionization spectra of TiCl4 have been studied theoretically by the symmetry adapted cluster (SAC)/SAC‐CI and multireference CI (MRD‐CI) methods. The calculated spectra show good agreement with the observed spectra. The present results indicate several new assignments for the excitation spectrum. The peaks below 8.0 eV are assigned to valence excitations and those at 9.35 and 10.04 eV are assigned to Rydberg‐type excitations within chlorine ligands. The ordering of the ionized states in the outer valence region is (1t1)−1 < (3t2)−1 < (1e)−1 < (2t2)−1 < (2a1)−1, which supports the result of earlier Green’s function calculations.

It was clear that one of the problems of MRD-CI was coupling of roots, often in groups of four, and that these were well separated in energy; extrapolation based upon only some members of the group led to perturbed energies, relative to those obtained when all members of the group were present. Hence it became imperative to expand the number of roots simultaneously determined in MRD-CI from 10 to 20. This caused extensive modification of the code, with major array expansions. A further problem with the MRD-CI method here, is the balancing of the reference set to obtain accurately degenerate roots for E and T states. In general, even with up to 70 main reference functions, it was not possible to obtain degenerate roots closer than about 0.1 eV, although this was sometimes reduced to 0.02 eV; the problem arises from the differing numbers of and MOs from and and is thus not capable of being exactly solved. In general this did not lead to problems of assignment; the result from the larger diagonalization is quoted in these circumstances. However, there are no such problems in SAC-CI and the degeneracy was kept to within 0.02 eV.
