Generation of Non-Bonding Orbitals

Therefore, the wave function of the non-bonding orbital can be determined by solving Eq. (18). For example, the Oi non-bonding orbital in a square pyramid is  

Inserting the wave functions Qm into above equation, we obtain  

Combining this with the normalisation condition, we obtain  

In the square plannar ML4 complex, the oig non-bonding orlntal is a linear combination s and d 2, i.e., 

Therefore a - 1/2 b = 0. The non-bonding orbital which has zero overlap with the four
