title: Improved model core potentials for the second- and third-row transition metals.
abstract: New nonrelativistic and scalar-relativistic pseudopotentials for the second- and third-row transition metals have been developed. These improved Model Core Potentials were used in calculations for a variety of transition metal complexes to test their ability to reproduce experimental structures and vibrational frequencies.
