# Application of the Ligand Field DFT approach for the atomic Pr 4f^2 -> Pr 4f^1
# 5d^1 transition.

# First an average of configuration calculation (AOC) is performed for the 4f^2
# electron configuration, where 2 electrons are equally distributed over the 7
# orbitals that have the most dominant Pr 4f character. Depending on the
# electron configuration this might be a non-trivial task.
