The crystal structure of the potassium salt of PtH42 has been recently determined (Bronger et al, J. of Less Common Metals, 116:9-15, 2012). The ion adopts a square planar structure and belongs to the D4h point group. Using the Projection Operator method, the ligand group orbitals (LGO) has been determined to have the following symmetry: A13+ B1g + Ej. Using the D4h Character Table, determine which d orbital of the central Pt atom have the right symmetry to interact with the A1g and B1, Ligand Group Orbitals (LGO).

n 1982, F. A. Cotton and D. J. Darensbourg published a paper in Inorganic Chemistry (v21, pp. 2661-2666) describing the kinetics of isomerization of cis/trans-Mo(CO)4(PR): complexes. One of the pure isomers (A) gave rise to 4 CO stretching bands. Upon heating, the other isomer (B) began to form and a single new CO stretching band appeared.
