Question

Tetrahedral complexes such as [FeF4]2- possess a Td symmetry, as indicated in the picture below. Use group theory and symmetry operations to determine the reducible representation resulting from the combination of y vectors. Break the reducible into irreducible and decide which metal orbitals are likely used to form σ bonds.
