10. Spaldin's picture is that the transition metal is ionized into a formally d0 state which obviously cannot be magnetic and then the O 2p electrons form covalent bonds with the empty d states. Formal valencies are extremely predictive, yet are often unrelated to the actual charge distribution in a crystal. We therefore prefer our picture which is that the TM d and O 2p states are nearly degenerate (so no ionization) and a large Hamiltonian matrix element splits them into bonding and antibonding states. The reason they are not magnetic is essentially the same as the reason that the molecular bonds in H2 are not. A similar point of view is expressed by R. E. Cohen, Nature (London) NATUAS 0028-0836 10.1038/358136a0 358, 136 (1992).
