Question:
MO diagrams for cyclic HN molecules are shown in Figure 6.1.
(a) Sketch out the MOs and their relative energies for a square H4 molecule. Determine the number of nodal planes for each MO.
(b) This molecule is prone to a first-order Jahn–Teller distortion. How will the distortion change the shape of the molecule? Redraw the MO diagram after the distortion has taken place.
