53. According to the second-order energy correction in the stationary perturbation theory the mixing between two levels is determined not only by the difference between their unperturbed energies, but also by the matrix element of the perturbation Hamiltonian term between the corresponding orbital states. The latter depends also on the orbital localization. On the other hand, the KS level structure and the shapes of the orbitals reflect the approximate degeneracy of the two metal sites. Therefore, each level in the multiplet can mix in a similar way with couples of very close levels ek corresponding to symmetrically arranged orbitals.

78. The two estimates differ by about 1.4 standard deviations. The one-tail probability of obtaining a discrepancy which is at least 1.4 standard deviations is 8%. In other words, by assuming that our average value complies with a normal distribution centered on the expected (i.e., experimental) transfer integral, the probability that our single valuation of the rms electronic coupling gives a result at least as large as 11.0 × 10-3 eV is 8%. Therefore, according to the usual 5% criterion the discrepancy between the two values is not significant.
