Systematic investigations of the electronic structures of MO[sup 9-][sub 6] (M = Ti-Ni) clusters, as in the LaMO[sub 3] type perovskite oxides, have been carried out by employing the multiple-scattering X[alpha] (MSX[alpha]) method. The crystal-field splitting of the metal d level is found to increase, while the oxygen-to-metal charge-transfer energy decreases across the transition metal series. Systematic trends are also seen in the mixing (covalency) between the metal d and the oxygen 2p orbitals in the series.
