Draw closo-B₆H₆^2- (see Figure 15.12), 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 (see Figure 15.13).

b. Three orbitals having T_1u symmetry involving pi interactions between sets of four boron p orbitals.

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