Transcribed Image Text:4. MO Theory Applied to Octahedral Complexes
a. When MO theory is applied to octahedral complexes all the resulting
MOs come with a label- bonding, antibonding, or nonbonding.
Additionally, the ligands that surround the metal fall into one of
three categories: o-donor only, o-donor + T-donor, and o-donor + n-
acceptor. For each of the ligand subcategories, supply the label
(bonding, antibonding, or nonbonding) that goes with t, and e,
energy levels encountered in CFT.
o-donor only o-donor + T-donor o-donor + n-acceptor
b. Consider the following ligands: 1) phen, 2) CI , 3) en, 4) PF3, 5)
CN, and 6) N(CH,);. Place the six ligands in the appropriate box
below.
o-donor only o-donor + n-donor o-donor + n-acceptor
