Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs is very challenging since MRI operates by exciting the protons in human tissue, and the lungs have a proton content that is one-fifth of the surrounding tissue. To alleviate this problem, MRI patients are dispensed hyperpolarized noble gases, which then increase the MRI signal within the cavity of the lungs by several orders of magnitude, allowing for imaging of lung structure and ventilation. Hyperpolarization involves the spin characteristics of the nucleus, which we will study in a future chapter. Figure (a) Figure (b) Fig. (a) compares a conventional MRI to one in which hyperpolarized xenon gas has been inhaled by the patient (green portions of image). The hyperpolarized xenon shows that a portion of the right upper lobe is not properly ventilating (white arrow in Fig. (b)). A typical dose during this procedure consists of of 300 mL xenon-129 (molar mass 128.9 g/mol) and 700 ml of nitrogen gas (molar mass 28.0 g/mol) at…
Draw an MO diagram to explain the existence of the trihydrogen cation (H3+). Hint: it forms a cyclic structure. Use individual 1s orbitals from H atoms to form your molecular orbitals (don’t worry about forming LGOs; determine the symmetries of the MOs using the projection operator method and sketch approximate wavefunctions for each). How many electrons are present in this molecule? What is the bond order? What type of bonding is this?
Using a group theoretical approach, generate the MO diagrams for silane, SiH4. Be sure that your diagram is fully-labeled with MO assignments, is properly scaled in energy space, and provide a sketch of the MO. Determine the bond order for the silane molecule, and for the Si-H bond.

1. Below are two views of the triflate anion, CF3SO3−. a. Using the conventions learned in class, draw the following: i. A cartesian coordinate system. Indicate which view your coordinate system corresponds to. ii. The principal axis of rotation. Give the axis using the proper notation for symmetry elements. iii. One of the mirror planes. Name the mirror axis, including the name of the cartesian plane. b. List ALL unique symmetry operations present for triflate. You do not need to include redundant ones (e.g. since, C33 = E, you do not need to include C33). c. What is the point group of triflate?
Consider a ring system made up of 6 atoms (each one contributing a p atomic orbital to make 6 pi molecular orbitals). If the system is filled with 8 electrons, there will ----orbitals containing pairs of electrons and------ orbitals containing single, unpaired electrons. Hint: Use a Frost Circle.
Second-row diatomics For molecules containing atoms with electrons in p orbitals, energy-level diagrams become more complex. Core electrons are usually omitted from MO energy level diagrams. Discuss with your group or the class the following: (a) (b) Why are core electrons usually omitted? For the second-row diatomics what is the lowest MO formed from valence shell orbitals? Describe how molecular orbitals are formed from atomic orbitals. Would you expect them to be higher or lower in energy than a (sigma) molecular orbitals? (c) As the nuclear charge increases, the energies of all orbitals are lowered, as shown in the figure below for homonuclear diatomics. Why does this happen? 620x Li₂ Bez 1 0₂ F₂ Ne₂ p #p 29 620 625 #20 Note: For molecules smaller than 02, the 2p orbital is higher in energy than the #2p orbitals.
