Question

14. All octahedral metal complexes will have a similar MO diagram, only the number of d-electrons and relative energies will change. The d-electrons from a metal ion will fill in the tz, and e, MO's. Use symmetry to generate a MO diagram for Ti(H20)63+ (12 pts). Make the water ligands sigma donating ligands for this problem. a. What are the atomic orbitals from the metal that can from o bonds? b. In the MO diagram label the HOMO and the LUMO and clearly show delta. c. What did you use as a basis set to generate the symmetries for the ligand orbitals? d. If this MO diagram had to be modified to include pi bonding what would you use as the basis set to generate the symmetries for these group orbitals? Please include a picture.
