  • Molecular Orbital Theory to Predict Bond Order • to Apply Molecular Orbital Theory to the Diatomic Homonuclear Molecule from the Elements in the Second Period
    Skills to Develop • To use molecular orbital theory to predict bond order • To apply Molecular Orbital Theory to the diatomic homonuclear molecule from the elements in the second period. None of the approaches we have described so far can adequately explain why some compounds are colored and others are not, why some substances with unpaired electrons are stable, and why others are effective semiconductors. These approaches also cannot describe the nature of resonance. Such limitations led to the development of a new approach to bonding in which electrons are not viewed as being localized between the nuclei of bonded atoms but are instead delocalized throughout the entire molecule. Just as with the valence bond theory, the approach we are about to discuss is based on a quantum mechanical model. Previously, we described the electrons in isolated atoms as having certain spatial distributions, called orbitals, each with a particular orbital energy. Just as the positions and energies of electrons in atoms can be described in terms of atomic orbitals (AOs), the positions and energies of electrons in molecules can be described in terms of molecular orbitals (MOs) A particular spatial distribution of electrons in a molecule that is associated with a particular orbital energy.—a spatial distribution of electrons in a molecule that is associated with a particular orbital energy. As the name suggests, molecular orbitals are not localized on a single atom but extend over the entire molecule. Consequently, the molecular orbital approach, called molecular orbital theory is a delocalized approach to bonding. Although the molecular orbital theory is computationally demanding, the principles on which it is based are similar to those we used to determine electron configurations for atoms.

  • Introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory
    Chapter 2: Molecular Structure and Bonding Bonding Theories 1. VSEPR Theory 2. Valence Bond theory (with hybridization) 3. Molecular Orbital Theory ( with molecualr orbitals) To date, we have looked at three different theories of molecular boning. They are the VSEPR Theory (with Lewis Dot Structures), the Valence Bond theory (with hybridization) and Molecular Orbital Theory. A good theory should predict physical and chemical properties of the molecule such as shape, bond energy, bond length, and bond angles.Because arguments based on atomic orbitals focus on the bonds formed between valence electrons on an atom, they are often said to involve a valence-bond theory. The valence-bond model can't adequately explain the fact that some molecules contains two equivalent bonds with a bond order between that of a single bond and a double bond. The best it can do is suggest that these molecules are mixtures, or hybrids, of the two Lewis structures that can be written for these molecules. This problem, and many others, can be overcome by using a more sophisticated model of bonding based on molecular orbitals. Molecular orbital theory is more powerful than valence-bond theory because the orbitals reflect the geometry of the molecule to which they are applied. But this power carries a significant cost in terms of the ease with which the model can be visualized. One model does not describe all the properties of molecular bonds. Each model desribes a set of properties better than the others. The final test for any theory is experimental data. Introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory The Molecular Orbital Theory does a good job of predicting elctronic spectra and paramagnetism, when VSEPR and the V-B Theories don't.

  • Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram 1
    Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram 1 Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram A molecular orbital diagram or MO diagram for short is a qualitative descriptive tool explaining chemical bonding in molecules in terms of molecular orbital theory in general and the Linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital method (LCAO method) in particular [1] [2] [3] . This tool is very well suited for simple diatomic molecules such as dihydrogen, dioxygen and carbon monoxide but becomes more complex when discussing polynuclear molecules such as methane. It explains why some molecules exist and not others, how strong bonds are, and what electronic transitions take place. Dihydrogen MO diagram The smallest molecule, hydrogen gas exists as dihydrogen (H-H) with a single covalent bond between two hydrogen atoms. As each hydrogen atom has a single 1s atomic orbital for its electron, the bond forms by overlap of these two atomic orbitals. In figure 1 the two atomic orbitals are depicted on the left and on the right. The vertical axis always represents the orbital energies. The atomic orbital energy correlates with electronegativity as a more electronegative atom holds an electron more tightly thus lowering its energy. MO treatment is only valid when the atomic orbitals have comparable energy; when they differ greatly the mode of bonding becomes ionic. Each orbital is singly occupied with the up and down arrows representing an electron. The two AO's can overlap in two ways depending on their phase relationship. The phase of an orbital is a direct consequence of the oscillating, wave-like properties of electrons.

Feld, Ph.D. _________________________________ Joseph F. Thomas, Jr., Ph.D. Dean, School of Graduate Studies ABSTRACT Hart, Morgan M. M.S., Department of Chemistry, Wright State University, 2009. Cationic Exchange Reactions Involving Dilithium Phthalocyanine. Dilithium phthalocyanine (Li2Pc) consists of an aromatic macrocycle possessing a doubly negative charge and two Li+ counterions. One Li+ ion is easily displaceable while the other remains coordinated to the phthalocyanine ring. The displaceable Li+ cation can be exchanged with other cations, such as a singly charged tetra-alkyl ammonium cation, by using several variations of a general procedure. It has been demonstrated that tetraalkylammonium lithium phthalocyanines (TAA-LiPcs) can be successfully and reproducibly synthesized with yields ranging from 54.5% up to 64.3%. All TAA-LiPcs demonstrated poor solubilities from approximately <0.2 mg/mL to 5 mg/ml in the solvents tested (with the exception of tetrapropylammonium lithium phthalocyanine and tetrahexylammonium lithium phthalocyanine).

McElvain Laboratories of Organic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison. Wisconsin 53706 Received February 22, 1993 Abstracf: 1,4-Bis(trimethylstanny1)-2-butyne (1) and 2,3-bis(trimethylstannyl)-1,3-butadiene (2), versatile synthons for the 2,3-dianion of 1,3-butadiene,have been prepared from either 1,Cdichloro-Zbutyne or 2,3-dichloro- 1,3-butadiene by reaction with 2 equiv of (trimethylstanny1)lithium. At -78 OC, the kinetic product from either dichloro precursor is 1which can be isomerized to 2. The monolithium species formed from 1 and 2 have been characterized by 13C NMR. One equivalent of methyllithium added to 1 at -78 OC forms 2-lithio-l-(trimethylstannyl)-2,3-butadiene(5), while 2 forms 2-lithio-3-(trimethylstannyl)-1,3-butadiene(6). A second equivalent of methyllithium converts 5 to a dilithio species, 7, whose NMR spectrum is consistent with (LiCH2CWCH2Li),. The reagent 6 slowly isomerizes to 5 at -50 OC and also forms 7 at this temperature when excess methyllithium is present. 2-Lithio diene 6 (and the cuprate and Grignard reagent prepared from it) is a convenient starting material for the preparation of numerous 2-x-3- (trimethylstanny1)-1,3-butadienes by reaction with electrophiles such as halosilanes, disulfides, selenium, alkyl halides, positive halogen sources, aldehydes, and ketones.

O. Box 522, 11001 Belgrade, Serbia The process of generating dilithium fluoride ion from the samples of LiF, LiF/C60, LIF/LiI, and LIF/LiI/C60 using a double and a triple filament thermal ionization source for a mass spectrometer was studied. This cluster belong to the “superalkali” class that can form the building block for new nanoscale cluster assembled materials. The results show that in the case of the double filament thermal source when the solution of LiF/C60 was used the + Li2F ion was detected in the longest temperature range of the evaporation filament. On + the other hand, the best abundances of Li2F ion was obtained when the solution of LiF/C60 were loaded on the evaporation filaments of the triple filament thermal ionization source. It has also been found that several different processes are involved in the generation of + + + + Li2F by the triple filament thermal source: (1) Li2F2 → Li2F + F; (2) Li +LiF→ Li2F ; + + and (3) Li (from LiI)+LiF→ Li2F . Reaction (1) is dominant at the low temperatures of evaporation filament (Te), reaction (2) it appears at Te > 1000 ˚K, for all four above mentioned samples. Reaction (3) appears when the samples were the solution of LiF/LiI and LiF/LiI/C60 at the high temperature of the evaporation filament.
