Symmetry combination 388

For all point, axial rotation, and full rotation group symmetries, this observation holds if the orbitals are equivalent, certain space-spin symmetry combinations will vanish due to antisymmetry if the orbitals are not equivalent, all space-spin symmetry combinations consistent with the content of the direct product analysis are possible. In either case, one must proceed through the construction of determinental wavefunctions as outlined above. 

With nitrogen, the departure from spherical symmetry combined with the relatively strong quadrupole moment, leads to a blurring of the step-like character of the isotherm in the multilayer region (cf. Fig. 2.29(b)). 

It is also possible to perform a basis set transformation from primitive basis functions to symmetry combinations of the KS MOs of the atoms or larger fragments that constitute a system. In that case the population matrix elements P v become more meaningful, because they reflect the involvement of the fragment MOs in the orbitals of the total system. A Mulliken population analysis in... 

We deal here only with the CH group orbitals and do not consider the orbitals corresponding to the two other bonds of the carbon atom. Four AOs intervene in the CH bonds, the two hybrid carbon orbitals and the two s hydrogen orbitals. To find their linear combinations requires solving an equation of the fourth degree. We can get around the problem by taking the symmetry combinations of the carbon hybrids ... 

Effective overlap (overlap integral > 0) occurs between orbitals that give the correct symmetry combinations (positive with positive and negative with negative regions). 

These considerations become more and more complicated with increasing the number of colors [16-19], Figure 4-13 shows an example of 4 m symmetry. The detail of the tower of a gatehouse at Park Giiell (see Figure 4-14), the famous park in Barcelona built by Antoni Gaudi also reveals 4 m symmetry, that is, fourfold rotational symmetry combined with antireflection. 

The next step is the MO construction. The orbitals used for this purpose are summarized in Table 6-6. An A, and a doubly degenerate E symmetry combination is possible here, and there will be a nonbonding orbital with A, symmetry left on nitrogen. Figure 6-24 illustrates the building of MOs. Again, they can be compared with... 

Rh8(CO)i6 by assuming that each symmetry combination of the empty (jT ) orbitals of the CO groups overlaps with one and only one full orbital in the molecule, which may or may not also be used in metal-metal or metal-ligand cr-bonding. The method leaves one n combination in Co6(CO)i6 without a partner in Co6(CO)i4, as it happens (59), it works perfectly. To this author, the treatment seems unsatisfactory the rules require a short-circuiting mechanism (criticised in 11(6) above) their precise application varies from structure to structure (so that the recurrence of the 86 count is fortuitious), and in any case the rules are not obeyed by simple carbonyls (e.g. Cr(CO)e). 

In the (ri1, 1, 1) or (1,1,1) structure (1), only the a orbitals on the ligands are involved. Their proper symmetry combinations can interact with three metal orbitals (for instance, s, px and py Scheme 13) so that the three BH4" ligands act as a 6-electron donor in this coordination mode. Since one electron is remaining in the d block (d1 complex), the total number of electrons is 7 in the (1,1,1) structure. 

In the (2,2,2) complex 2, with all the bridging hydrogen atoms lying in the MB3 plane, the n orbitals must be considered in addition to the a ones. The two lowest symmetry combinations can interact with the xy and x2-y2 d metal orbitals (Scheme 14). The highest one is of f symmetry (three nodal planes) and cannot find any symmetry-adapted orbital in a transition metal. Consequently, the three BTU- ligands act as a 4-electron donor through their ix orbitals. The (2,2,2) structure can be described as a 6(a) + 4(7T ) + l(Ti) = 11-electron complex.
