For the coordination compound [NI(NO2)*: a. Draw the structure. What is the coordination geometry of this structure? b. Draw the frontier orbitals of the MO diagram for this complex ion using ligand-field theory. (These are just the orbitals that are most metal d-like in character) for these orbitals provide the symmetry label AND indicate whether they are sigma or pi and bonding or anti-bonding c.) Be sure to draw the electrons in these orbitals. Is this a relatively large or small Ao? (i.e. what is the field strength) explain your reasoning. For the coordination compound [NI(NO2)*: a.
