Percentage contributions by atom were calculated as the ratio of square of Mulliken spin density for an atom and the sum of square of Mulliken spin density for all atoms in the molecule. M = Mn, Co, or Cu; C (–CS2–) is the carbon atom of the dithiocarbamate group. Highest contributions from the carbon atoms farther from the coordination sites were found on an aromatic/aliphatic carbon of the benzoylacetone ligand: ar = highest contribution from an aromatic carbon; alp = highest contribution from an aliphatic.
