Abstract  This paper systematically investigates the local distortion and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameter for CdCl2:V2+ and CsMgX3:V2+ (X=Cl, Br) systems on the basis of the complete energy matrix, in which not only the contributions due to the spin--orbit coupling of the central ions but also that of the ligands are considered. To describe the difference of overlapping between d-orbits and p orbit, two spin--orbit coupling coefficients are introduced. By simulating the crystal field parameter and EPR parameter, the local distortion parameters are studied and the relationships between the EPR parameter and the spin--orbit coupling coefficients as well as divergent parameter are discussed. These results show that the local structures exhibit compression distortion for CdCl2:V2+ and elongation distortions for CsMgX3:V2+ (= Cl, Br), respectively. It notes that the empirical formula $R \approx R_{\rm H} + (r_{\rm i} - r_{\rm h} ) / 2$ is not suitable for CdCl2:V2+ and CsMgX3:V2+ (= Cl, Br) systems. The contributions of ligand to spin--orbit coupling interaction cannot be neglected for strong covalent systems, especially for V2+ doped in CsMgBr3:V2+.
