Construct the ions Re₂Cl₈ ^2- and Os₂Cl₈ ^2- (see Figure 15.7), and calculate and display their molecular orbitals. Compare these orbitals with Figure 15.8, focusing on the metal–metal bonds and on d-orbital interactions with the ligands, and classify orbitals involved in metal–metal bonding as How do your results compare with the quadruple and triple bonds reported respectively for these ions? (Depending on the software used, you may need to fix atoms in position before doing orbital calculations, especially for Re₂Cl₈ ^2-. Structural information on this ion can be found in F. A . Cotton, C. B. Harris, Inorg. Chem., 1965, 4, 330.)
