With this work, we begin our treatment of the transition metal electron affinities. A procedure, REDUCE, for reducing the number of parental couplings per configuration present in the first order wave function from as many as 100 to only a few is introduced. Progress toward a comprehensive relativistic‐correlation theory is discussed. Several states in Sc − were examined but none were found to be bound. Two new bound states were obtained for Cu − : 3 d 9 4 s 4 p 2 5 D and 3 d 8 4 s 4 P 3 7 F 0 , with electron affinities 0.109 and 1.052 eV, respectively.
