The relativistically parameterized extended Hueckel molecular orbital method REX is used to explore the effects of relativity upon molecular orbital energies and compositions. The uranium compounds studied are UO/sub 2//sup 2 +/, UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 4//sup 2 -/, UF/sub 6/, UCl/sub 6/, UCl/sub 4/, U(BH/sub 4/)/sub 4/, and U(C/sub 8/H/sub 8/)/sub 2/. Other heavy element compounds studied are MI/sub 3/ (M = La, Gd, Lu), PoH/sub 2/, (eka)PoH/sub 2/, I/sub 3//sup -/, AtI/sub 2//sup -/, and RnF/sub 2/. Relativistic orbital energy parameters and atomic orbital exponents are presented as supplementary material for all elements with Z = 1 to 120 together with corresponding nonrelativistic values for all elements with Z = 1 to 100. It is concluded that the REX method provides semiquantitative estimates of spin-orbit splittings and relativistic bonding effects for compounds of heavy elements.
