1. Introduction The effect of chemical bondmg on the energes of transmons mkolvmg inner-shell electrons has been studred rather eltenslvely for X-ray fluorescence and ESCA processes and to a lesser extent for Auger processes [l-31 The chemical shifts In the K-LL Auger energy (AE) of sulphur ha\e been correlated ~qth the formal charge on the atom [ 11, with the partial charge on S. as obtamed by population analysts and ab mltlo calcularlons on molecules [3], and wrth evpenmental ESCA shifts m the sulphur 2p lomzatlon potential (IP) [4]. The general trend IS decreasmg K-LL Auger energy with increasmg L shell IP [4] and decreasmg AE v.?th increasmg formal or partial charge on sulphur [1.3]. A tift of 16 eV per formal charge was predlcted by a theoretIcal study of K-LL Auger energy In the sulphur atom and posltlve ions [ 11. lhs result IS an overestlmatlon of the AE chemical shifts smce the formal
charge or oudatlon state in molecules IS not the actual charge on the atom as It IS m the free atom The ekpenmental values obtamed for molecules are much smaller than 16 eV: the Difference in K-LL AE between the two types of sulphur m NalS203 (S’-, S6+), is 4.3 eV [l], or about 0.5 eV per?orrnal charge. In the present paper. two series of investlgatlons are reported. First, the Inner-shell double-hole states of HZS and SO? are computed usmg multlconfiguratlon SCF (MC SCF) and CI methods which were proven efficient for the assqnment of valence-shell Auger spectra of H2S and SO2 [5,6]. The results on the LL double iontzation potentials and K-LL Auger energes are compared blth expenmental data [3], to test the vahtity of the theorerlcal models used. Secondly, calculatlons on the model molecules H,SO,H,SO, and H2S02 [7] have been performed to mvestigate the chemtcal stifts in the Auger energies as a functron of the formal sulphur oxidation state. 1.

For thrs reason rt IS essential to use multrconfiguration methods. In the present work we have used the MC SCF method that has been drscussed prevrous!y [5]. In addrtron we have used the parent orbital configuratron Interaction (POCI) method (correspondmg to a frozen-orbital approximatron). In tlus method the double-hole configuratrons are constructed usmg the MO of the parent molecule and the double-hole states computed by dragonahzmg the hamrltoruan matrix of the doubly posrtrve ion over the double-hole configuratrons. The POCI method for double-hole states is analogous to usmg Koopmans’ theorem for smgle-hole states of molecules and it has been shown that the POCI method is useful in assqning the suIphur L-mm’ and the oxygen K-mm’

3.1. AfC SCF and FOCI calculntiotts on H$
and SO,
PoCl and MC SCF calculations were carried out on the L shell double-hole states of H2S using a doublezeta basrs set augmented wrth floating p functions as m ref. [5] _ For SO,, calculations have been carried out only at the POCI level (the basis sets are as reported in ref. [6]). To rIlustrate the general form of the rest&s obtained in the calculations we give the MC SCF and POCE results on H2S m some detarl m table 1_ These data are typical of those obtamed for the other sulphur-containing molecules studred m thrs work. From an inspection of column 1 of table 1 (leading electronic configuratron), we confirm that the eigenfunctions FolIow the LS couphng scheme (compare lines 5,7, and 9 with the LS couphng coefflcrents in eqs. (l), (2j and (3)). The configuratron-mteraction contribution to the total energies is generally smaU (cf. EC1 column in table l), except for the IAl states m the LD and tS terms. The relaxatron energy (Erelau in table I) is quite large, as expected for mner-shell double-hole states. The sulphur K-LL Auger energies of H$S and SO, are grven along with theoretical and experimental data of Keski-Rahkonen et al. [3] m table 2. The SCF vdues are in fair agreement with experiment while rhe POCI values are almost uniformly smaller by aboat 40 eV (which is mostly the relaxation energy). However the POCI chemical shifts in Auger enerw, AAE = AE(SO,) - AE(H2S) are m good agreement with experiment, whrle the SCF values are not. A ssimilar srtuation IS encountered for the double ionization potentials of H,S and SO,. also shown in table 2. The above results indicate that m the POCI method the results OR H?S are of similar accuracy to those of SO,, while in the SCF method the theoretical deficiencies are more pronounced for SO2 than H$%. The relative positions of the Auger lines of H$S and SO2 with respect to those of the lS lines are given in table 3. The POCI and the SCF values show the invariance m the term splittings, which is also found experimentally, between H,S and SO,. The theoretical values of the te_m splittrngs are slightly smaller than the expenmental. This is so because in our cdcdations the effect of electron correlatron is not included 121. At this stage the conclusron is that the POCI method

Depending on the relative magnitudes of the chemical shifts in the smgle and dotible IP, the chemical shifts III AE may be increasmg or decreasing with increasing (single ionization) ESCA shift. In the series of model molecules, the chemical shift m the sulphur K-LL AE IS decreasing Hnth mcreasing chemical shift in the 2s IP (fig. 1). As shown in fig. 1, the K-LL AE changes by about 2 eV per formal charge or formal oxidation number. The corresponding change between H+ and SO2 is 0.58 eV (decreasing) per formal charge, in good agreement uinth experiment (about 0.52 eV per formal charge (31). Thus it appears that the magnitude of the

change m K-LL AE wth formal oxidation number on sulphur depends on the actual senes of molecules considered, since the oxldatlon number corresponds to chfferent actual charge on the atom for different senes of molecules. Use of formal charge (1-e. oxldatlon state) to correlate AJZ IS preferable to usmg partial charges obtamed by population analysis and ab irutlo calculations on molecules, since the computed charge depends on the basis set used m the calculation.
