Question

inorganic chemistry (organometallic)

Draw the molecular orbitals of the interaction of the pi-system of cyclobutadiene with a d-block transition metal.

Hint.

1.please explain the overlap in detail (why the specific pi orbital of cyclobutadiene would overlap with that specific d orbital of metal)

2.the C4 C4v character table may help you

Please help

Thank you so much. (Sorry for not able to uploading the character table.)
