Which combinations of the
three AOs are correct?
The projection operator method provides a systematic way to find
how the AOs should be combined to give the right group orbitals
(SALCs).
BF3 - Projection Operator Method
In the projection operator method, we pick one AO in each set of
identical AOs and determine how it transforms under each
symmetry operation of the point group.

projection table values by the characters of each irreducible
representation and summing the results.

We can get the third group orbital, E’(x), by using normalization.

Let’s normalize the A1’ group orbital:

d orbitals
• l = 2, so there are 2l + 1 = 5 d-orbitals per shell, enough room
for 10 electrons.
• This is why there are 10 elements in each row of the d-block.

The six ligands can interact with the metal in a sigma or pi fashion.
Let’s consider only sigma interactions for now.

six GOs in total
σ-MOs for Octahedral Complexes
5. Find symmetry matches with central atom.
Γσ = A1g + Eg + T1u
Reading off the character table, we see that the group orbitals match
the metal s orbital (A1g), the metal p orbitals (T1u), and the dz2 and dx2-y2
metal d orbitals (Eg). We expect bonding/antibonding combinations.
The remaining three metal d orbitals are T2g and σ-nonbonding.
σ-MOs for Octahedral Complexes
We can use the projection operator method to deduce the shape of the
ligand group orbitals, but let’s skip to the results:
L6 SALC
symmetry label
σ1 + σ2 + σ3 + σ4 + σ5 + σ6
A1g (non-degenerate)
σ1 - σ3 , σ2 - σ4 , σ5 - σ6
T1u (triply degenerate)
σ1 - σ2 + σ3 - σ4 , 2σ6 + 2σ5 - σ1 - σ2 - σ3 - σ4 Eg (doubly degenerate)

σ-MOs for Octahedral Complexes
There is no combination of ligand σ orbitals with the symmetry of
the metal T2g orbitals, so these do not participate in σ bonding.

T2g orbitals cannot form
sigma bonds with the L6 set.
S = 0.
T2g are non-bonding

Summary
MO Theory
•
MO diagrams can be built from group orbitals and central atom
orbitals by considering orbital symmetries and energies.
•
The symmetry of group orbitals is determined by reducing a
reducible representation of the orbitals in question. This approach
is used only when the group orbitals are not obvious by
inspection.
•
The wavefunctions of properly-formed group orbitals can be
deduced using the projection operator method.
•
We showed the following examples: homonuclear diatomics, HF,
CO, H3+, FHF-, CO2, H2O, BF3, and σ-ML6
