(c) An octahedral cluster molecule E6 in Oh point symmetry can be formed without a central atom and is bonded together using the six s and eighteen p orbitals on the six atoms. Each vertex comprises a sp hybrid orbital (radial) pointing into the cluster, and two p orbitals (tangential) at right angles to each other and to the centre of the cluster (see figure below). These are the same as the ligand orbitals used in o- and x-bonding in octahedral transition metal complexes. The bonding overlaps between these orbitals are shown below in A, B and C, and two of these are each part of a triply degenerate set and the other is singly degenerate - remember in O₂ symmetry x, y and z are degenerate.
