The method of Racah and Stein is applied to the calculation of second‐order configuration interaction in the open shells sp 6 and s 2 p 4 d. The excited configuration sp 4 d 2 is found to be important in screening the matrix element G 1 ( ps ; dp ) which is responsible for the mixing of sp 6 and s 2 p 4 d , 2 S. This mixing is calculated. The second‐order interaction strongly affects the value of G 3 ( p , d ) deduced from term analysis of the configuration s 2 p 4 d and brings it into agreement with theory. However, the value of G 1 ( p , d ) shows only a small improvement, indicating the need for further work on this configuration.
