The bonding in the square-planar ion E 4 2+ is described. Explore this proposition in more detail
Question:
The bonding in the square-planar ion E42+ is described. Explore this proposition in more detail by carrying out computations, using software of your choice, on S42+ with S–S bond distances of 200 pm (sulfur is recommended because its semiempirical parameters are more reliable than those of Se). From the output
(a) Draw the molecular orbital energy-level diagram,
(b) Assign the symmetry of each level,
(c) Sketch the highest energy molecular orbital. Is a closed-shell molecule predicted?
