Abstract. The paper by Wolfsberg and Helmholz represents the first molecular orbital calculation on a transition-metal complex. Published in the heyday of ligand-field theory, the paper was 10 years ahead of its time. Here, the present author provides an overview of the title paper: a brief description of the results, his perspective on the historical context of the work and its influence on subsequent developments, personal reminiscences about the paper by Max Wolfsberg, and biographical sketches of the authors.
