Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.44P
Diborane,
a. Using the point group of the molecule, create a representation using the is orbitals on thehydrogens as a basis. Reduce this representation, and sketch group orbitals matchingeach of the irreducible representations. (Suggestion: Treat the bridging and terminal hydrogens separately.)
b. Calculate and display the molecular orbitals. Compare the software-generated images withthe group orbital sketches from part a, and explain how hydrogen can form “bridges”between two B atoms. (This type of bonding is discussed in Chapter 8.)
