A large discrepancy between Dirac-Fock calculations and experiment for the spin-orbit splitting, ²P1/2-²P3/2, in the ground states of B- and F-like ions is resolved. The discrepancy arises from spurious terms which are inherent in the relativistic self-consistent-field procedure. Removal of these terms substantially improves the agreement between theory and experiment on spin-orbit splitting.
