Lect 12 3D Molecular Structure - Santiago Canyon College

In contrast to crystal field theory, molecular orbital included the covalent nature of the metal-ligand bond interaction. No Metal- Ligand -bonding ( bonding only) Let’s take [Co(NH3)6]3+ as an example. Using the LGO method, one can construct a qualitative MO diagram for bonding in a [ML6]n+ complex. ................
