Draw the core carbon-centered cluster of Ru₆C(CO)₁₇ (see Figure 15.23), and calculate its molecular orbitals. Identify and display the following:

a. The orbital having A_1g symmetry resulting from overlap of p or hybrid orbitals pointing toward the center of the octahedron with the 2 sorbital of carbon (see Figure 15.24)

b. Three orbitals having T_1u symmetry involving pi interactions between sets of four ruthenium p or d orbitals with 2p orbitals on carbon.

c. Three orbitals having T_2g symmetry involving overlap of sets of four boron p or d orbitals within the same plane.
