The spectrum of V isolated in Ar and Kr matrices at 10°K has been correlated with the gas phase spectrum. The electron configuration was found to be a major factor in determining the direction and the magnitude of the matrix shift for this system. A model calculation was performed using extended Huckel theory. A plausible explanation for the origin of the matrix shifts and the altered intensity relationships observed in the matrix has been developed.
