A method for the construction of the essentially idempotent and Hermitian diagonal elements of the matric algebra of the permutation group S n is proposed. For the irreducible representation [λ] = [λ 1 , λ 2 ] characterising a spin state S of an n ‐electron system, it is found that this method generates the complete set of spin projections from the appropriate primitive spin functions. The method is applied to a 7‐electron system in the spin state S = M S = 1/2 and the results are listed in the Appendix.
