Self-consistent charge extended Huckel (SCCEH) and MSX<sub>alpha </sub> calculations performed for several metal-ligand distances have been carried out in order to investigate the superhyperfine (SHF) tensor of 'compressed' and 'elongated' NiF<sub>6</sub><sup>5-</sup> complexes in LiF. The SCCEH (made for clusters involving up to 81 ions) and the MSX<sub>alpha </sub> calculations (made for the NiLi<sub>12</sub>F<sub>14</sub><sup>-</sup> cluster) both support the idea that the VII centre in LiF:Ni<sup>+</sup> can hardly be assigned to a pure Jahn-Teller centre (without any close defect) with compressed geometry, while the experimental SHF tensor of elongated NiF<sub>6</sub><sup>5-</sup> species is reasonably accounted for. Also both types of calculation indicate that for the compressed NiF<sub>6</sub><sup>5-</sup> complexes f<sub>sigma </sub>(AX) can increase upon increasing the distance between Ni<sup>+</sup> and axial ligands.
