Calculations with the SCF-Xα-SW method show the bonding in TiCl4 to be essentially between Ti d orbitals and Cl p orbitals. The theoretical and experimental HeI photoemission and U.V. absorption spectra are compared, and their interpretation discussed. The results from touching sphere and overlapping sphere calculations illustrate the difference between molecules with polarizing and with bonding d orbitals.
