Abstract: The effective core poteutials (ECP′s) are used for studying the electronic structures of mercury halides (HgX_2,X=Cl, Br, I). For Hg and I, potentials including relativistic effects are employed. It is found that the interaetion of 5d_z2-6s hybrid orbital of mercury with p_z of halogen dominates the mereury-halogen bonding. On the bases of one-electron operator approximation, spin-orbit coupling is introduced and the results are compared with the corresponding experimental photoelectron spectra.
