The electronic structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) containing transition metal (TM) ions represents a significant and largely unresolved computational challenge due to limited solutions to the quantitative description of low-energy excitations in open d-shells. These excitations underpin the magnetic and sensing properties of TM MOFs, including the observed remarkable spin-crossover phenomenon. We introduce the effective Hamiltonian of crystal field approach to study the d-d spectrum of MOFs containing TM ions; this is a hybrid QM/QM method based on the separation of crystal structure into d- and s,p-subsystems treated at different levels of theory. We test the method on model frameworks, carbodiimides, and hydrocyanamides and a series of M -MOF-74 (M = Fe, Co, Ni) and compare the computational predictions to experimental data on magnetic properties and Mössbauer spectra.
