Figure 1: Diagram illustrating σ molecular orbitals of the triiodide anion. The σ molecular orbitals (MOs) of triiodide can be constructed by considering the in-phase and out-of-phase combinations of the central atom's p orbital (collinear with the bond axis) with the p orbitals of the peripheral atoms.

In organic synthesis, SF 4 is used to convert COH and C=O groups into CF and CF 2 groups, respectively. [10] The efficiency of these conversions are highly variable. In the laboratory, the use of SF 4 has been superseded by the safer and more easily handled diethylaminosulfur trifluoride, (C 2 H 5) 2 NSF 3, "DAST": [11] This reagent is prepared ...
Chemist Linus Pauling first developed the hybridisation theory in 1931 to explain the structure of simple molecules such as methane (CH 4) using atomic orbitals. [2] Pauling pointed out that a carbon atom forms four bonds by using one s and three p orbitals, so that "it might be inferred" that a carbon atom would form three bonds at right angles (using p orbitals) and a fourth weaker bond ...
[12] [27] Namely the atomic s and p orbital(s) are combined to give four sp i 3 = 1 ⁄ √ 4 (s + √ 3 p i) orbitals, three sp i 2 = 1 ⁄ √ 3 (s + √ 2 p i) orbitals, or two sp i = 1 ⁄ √ 2 (s + p i) orbitals. These combinations are chosen to satisfy two conditions. First, the total amount of s and p orbital contributions must be ...
In chemistry, isovalent or second order hybridization is an extension of orbital hybridization, the mixing of atomic orbitals into hybrid orbitals which can form chemical bonds, to include fractional numbers of atomic orbitals of each type (s, p, d). It allows for a quantitative depiction of bond formation when the molecular geometry deviates ...
Representative d-orbital splitting diagrams for square planar complexes featuring σ-donor (left) and σ+π-donor (right) ligands. A general d-orbital splitting diagram for square planar (D 4h) transition metal complexes can be derived from the general octahedral (O h) splitting diagram, in which the d z 2 and the d x 2 −y 2 orbitals are degenerate and higher in energy than the degenerate ...
In chemical bonds, an orbital overlap is the concentration of orbitals on adjacent atoms in the same regions of space. Orbital overlap can lead to bond formation. Linus Pauling explained the importance of orbital overlap in the molecular bond angles observed through experimentation; it is the basis for orbital hybridization.
The structure commonly occurs for d 0, d 1 and d 2 transition metal complexes with covalently-bound ligands and small charge separation. In d 0 complexes it may be ascribed to sd 5 hybridization, but in d 1 and d 2 complexes the d z 2 orbital is occupied by nonbonding electron (pair).
