We present a systematic ab initio study of the electronic structure for selected II-VI compounds and group III nitrides in the zinc-blende structure with special emphasis on the role played by the semicore d-electrons. We show that applying density-functional theory (DFT) in the exact-exchange (EXX) approach [1] leads to an improved description of the d-electron hybridisation compared to the local-density approximation (LDA). Moreover we find that it is essential to use the newly developed EXX pseudopotentials [2] in order to treat core-valence exchange consistenly.

In combination with quasiparticle energy calculations in the GW approximation we achieve very good agreement with available photoemission data. Since the DFT energies and wavefunctions serve as input for the GW calculation we conclude that for these materials EXX constitutes the better groundstate.
