Figure 6.1 The icosahedron and some of its symmetry elements, (a) An icosahedron has 12 vertices and 20 triangular faces defined by 30 edges, (b) The preferred pentagonal pyramidal coordination polyhedron for 6-coordinate boron in icosahedral structures as it is not possible to generate an infinite three-dimensional lattice on the basis of fivefold symmetry, various distortions, translations and voids occur in the actual crystal structures, (c) The distortion angle 0, which varies from 0° to 25°, for various boron atoms in crystalline boron and metal borides.

The group developed above to describe the symmetry of the ammonia molecule consisted only of the permutation operations. However, if the triangular pyramid corresponding to this structure is flattened, it becomes planer in me limit. The RF3 molecule shown in Fig. lb is an example of this symmetry. In this case it becomes possible to invert the coordinate perpendicular to the plane of the molecule, the z axis. Obviously, the operation of reflection in the (horizontal) plane of the molecule, <7h> is identical. It is easy, then, to identify the irreducible representations A and A" as symmetric or antisymmetric, respectively, under the coordinate inversion. The group composed of the identity and the inversion of the z axis is then <5 = s> whose character table is of the form of Table 7. 

We see that it is a consequence of the Pauli principle and bond formation that the electrons in most molecules are found as pairs of opposite spin—both bonding pairs and nonbonding pairs. The Pauli principle therefore provides the quantum mechanical basis for Lewis s rule of two. It also provides an explanation for why the four pairs of electrons of an octet have a tetrahedral arrangement, as was first proposed by Lewis, and why therefore the water molecule has an angular geometry and the ammonia molecule a triangular pyramidal geometry. The Pauli principle therefore provides the physical basis for the VSEPR model. 

According to the VSEPR model, NX3E molecules are expected to have a triangular pyramidal geometry. Experimental data for some NX3E molecules are given in Table 8.10 and Figure... 

Figure 30. Two cases of the polygonal surface representation in a single triangular pyramid (tetrahedron). The black and white circles represent the point with higher and lower values in comparison with the threshold value. The gray area is sthe schematic representation of the surface inside the pyramid (see Fig. 29).

The 90 electron trigonal prismatic cluster, [Rh C(CO) ], is electron rich and seems to behave as though there is a pair of electrons pointing out of each triangular face. Each metal atom is surrounded by five groups (1 terminal CO, 3 bridging CO s and the interstitial carbide) in an essentially square pyramidal... 

If one applies the same procedure to Figure 1.10B, an iron-sulfur cluster often used as a model for those in biological systems, the same magic number of 60 would be obtained. Cluster magic numbers would occur as 48 e for a triangular clusters, 60 e for tetrahedral, 72 e for trigonal bipyramidal, 74 e for square pyramidal, 86 e for octahedral, 90 e for trigonal prisms, and 120 e for cubic structures.
