Consider a trigonal prismatic six-coordinate ML₆ complex with D_3h symmetry. Use the D_3h character table (Resources section 4) to divide the d orbitals of the metal into sets of defined symmetry type. Assume that the ligands are at the same angle relative to the xy-plane as in a tetrahedral complex.
