Molecular orbital theory bonding analyses soon become complicated

6 Molecular orbital theory bonding analyses soon become complicated 

This row of characters is also produced by summing the rows of characters for the A-l and representations in the Z 3i, character table (Table 4.1), and therefore the LGOs are of a- and e symmetries. By considering the effects of every operation on one of the F 2p orbitals in the F3 fragment, we can (as before) arrive at an equation 

Ligand group orbitals involving the F 2s orbitals in BF3 and having and e symmetries can be derived in the
