International audienceThe LCAO as implemented in the CRYSTAL95 code has been used to obtain the electronic structure of the pyrite-type manganese disulfide in the ferromagnetic state. Calcns. made at the UHF and local d. approxn. levels show that this compd. has a larger ionic character within the HF approach. The band structures obtained with both methods of calcn. are significantly different. In particular, the valence band is mainly occupied by the p orbitals of sulfur in the UHF approach and the compd. is described as an insulator, whereas, at the LDA level, the Mn d orbitals also lie in this band and the compd. then has a conductor characte
