Question:

Platinum hexafluoride is an extremely strong oxidizing agent. It can even oxidize oxygen, its reaction with O2 giving O2+PtF6. Sketch the molecular n orbital energy level diagram for the O2+ ion. How many net σ and π bonds does the ion have? What is the oxygen–oxygen bond order? How has the bond order changed on taking away electrons from O2 to obtain O2+? Is the O2+ ion paramagnetic?
