Molecular Orbital Theory of Octahedral Complexes

C. Molecular Orbital Theory. Now what we’ve seen are transitions to electronic states of certain symmetry. Problem – how do we determine symmetries of the excited states (or ground state) ... H2O ground state – all paired: (1a1)2 (2a1)2 (2b2)2 (3a1)2 (b1)2 -- 1A1. ................
