Ferrocene molecular orbital diagram

Figure B A qualitative molecular orbital diagram for ferrocene. The subscripts g and u refer to the parity of the orbitals g (German gerade, even) indicates that the orbital (or orbital combination) is symmetric with respect to inversion, whereas the subscript u (ungerade, odd) indicates that it is antisymmetric with respect to inversion. Only orbitals with the same parity can combine.

Before describing the Fenske-Hall method itself, we will examine an example of the behavior described above. Our example will be ferrocene (Tri -C5H5)2Fe, whose qualitative molecular orbital diagram is shown in Scheme 40.1. The principal bonding...
