    $$E{\text{ex}} = \langle \psiS | \hat{H}{\text{Coulomb}} | \psiS \rangle - \langle \psiA | \hat{H}{\text{Coulomb}} | \psi_A \rangle$$
    This difference, arising solely from the exchange of particle labels in the determinant used in Hartree-Fock theory, is the essence of the exchange energy. Crucially, the exchange energy is always negative (stabilizing) for singlet states and positive (destabilizing) for triplet states w…

    The Role of Orbital Overlap and Transmission
    The magnitude and sign of the exchange integral $J$ are critically dependent on the spatial separation and overlap between the orbitals ($\phii$ and $\phij$) hosting the magnetic moments.

    Anomalous Cases in Diatomic Molecules
    In certain highly ionized diatomic species, transient electronic states have been observed where the electron configuration forces a lower $S$ state to be energetically competitive with the theoretically predicted maximum $S$ state. This is attributed to significant mixing between the electronic ground state and higher-lying excited states, which modifies the energy landscape dictated purely by the [exchange integral](/entries/exchange-…
