Crystal Field in Rare-Earth Trichlorides. II. Exchange Charge Effects in PrCl3

Abstract
The redistribution of charge due to overlap between the rare‐earth ion 5s2p6 shell and the surrounding ligands and to overlap between neighboring ligands is shown to produce a large reduction in the electrostatic contributions to the crystal field. This correction brings the calculated value of A20r2〉 close to its experimental value in PrCl3.
