A method of calculating the ground state wave function for Cu 2+ in rhombic crystal fields using the spin‐Hamiltonian parameters is discussed. The expressions for spin‐Hamiltonian parameters are deduced when the ground state contains comparable contributions from | x 2 – y 2 and | 3 z 2 – r 2 including the effect of covalency. The effectiveness of these expressions is illustrated by estimating the wave function for Cu 2+ in four pseudo‐Jahn‐Teller systems, with varying degrees of admixture in the ground state.
