A method is proposed to determine the M1 nuclear transition amplitude and hence the lifetime of the "nuclear clock transition" between the low-lying (∼8 eV) first isomeric state and the ground state of ^{229}Th from a measurement of the ground-state g factor of few-electron ^{229}Th ions. As a tool, the effect of nuclear hyperfine mixing in highly charged ^{229}Th ions such as ^{229}Th^{89+} or ^{229}Th^{87+} is used. The ground-state-only g-factor measurement would also provide first experimental evidence of nuclear hyperfine mixing in atomic ions.

Dipole moments are the first moment of electron density and are fundamental quantities that are often available from experiments. An exchange-correlation functional that leads to an accurate representation of the charge distribution of a molecule should accurately predict the dipole moments of the molecule. It is well known that Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) is more accurate for the energetics of single-reference systems than for the energetics of multi-reference ones, but there has been less study of charge distributions.

The well-known nephelauxetic series of ligands describes the change in interelectronic repulsion of the central metal ion, which is reduced on going from the vapor to crystalline state. This study examines the trends and quantifies the mechanism of this series for the lanthanide ion Pr(3+), with the 4f(2) electronic configuration. A new and concise measurement by a single parameter, σee, is introduced to quantify the overall strength of interelectronic repulsion, as the alternative to the Slater parameters, F(k) (k = 2, 4, 6).
