The heterodinuclear compound CuVO (fsa) 2en-CH3OH, where (fsa) 2en4" is the dinucleating ligand derived from the Schiff base A?, A'-(2-hydroxy-3-carboxybenzylidene)-l, 2-diaminoethane, is a classical example of an exchange-coupled system in which the experimentally observed ferromagnetic interaction (singlet-triplet splitting J= 120 cm-1) has been attributed to the strict orthogonality of the magnetic orbitals. In order to specify the mechanism of the phenomenon, J has been calculated in an ab initio scheme on a slightly idealized molecular structure with a Cs symmetry. The two magnetic orbitals havebeen obtained through an ab initio SCF-MO calculation on the open-shell system, using pseudopotentials. As expected, the magnetic orbital centered on copper (Il) is antisymmetric and that centered on vanadium (IV) is symmetric with regard to the mirror plane. J has been directly obtainedby a perturbation expansion of the configuration interaction problem. The first-order potential exchangeterm 2A" ab has been found as 623 cm" 1. The second-order kinetic exchange term is exactly zero due to the factthat the magnetic orbitals do not transform in the same way as the irreducible representation of Cs. Globally, the second-order terms have been found equal to-279 cm" 1, which does not compensatethe zeroth-order ferromagnetic contribution. The calculated J value has been found as+ 344 cm" 1. Finally, the strategy of strict orthogonality of the magnetic orbitals to design molecular systems in which the ground state has the highest spin multiplicity has been discussed in the light of results of our calculation.One of the main challenges in the field of molecular materials is the design of molecule-based systems ordering ferromagnetically below a critical temperature Tc. l~ J Such a situation may occur when the balance of the interactions between the magnetic centers within the crystal lattice leads to a noncompensation of the local
