Atomic Orbital- is a mathematical function (Y) that describes the wave-like behavior of electrons in an atom.Used to calculate the probability (Y2 ) of finding any electron of an atom in any specific region around the atom's nucleus.

1. ATOMIC ORBITALS of different atoms combine to create MOLECULAR ORBITALS 2. The number of ATOMIC ORBITALS = the number of MOLECULAR ORBITALS

3. Electrons in these MOLECULAR ORBITALS are shared by the molecule as whole

4. MOLECULAR ORBITALS can be constructed from Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO)

Molecular Orbital Theory

Y = caya + cbyb (for diatomic molecules)LCAO

BONDING Orbitals have most of the electron density between the two nuclei

ANTI-BONDING Orbitals have a node between the two nuclei

NONBONDING Orbitals are essentially the same as if it was only one nuclei

7

Combining Atomic Orbitals

Bonding:Ψ(σ) or Ψ+ = (1/√2 ) [φ(1sa) + φ(1sb) ]

Antibonding:

Ψ(σ*) or Ψ- = (1/√2 ) [φ(1sa) - φ(1sb) ]

•2 atoms•Only s orbitals•Linear interaction•Same energy•Uniform symmetry

•11 relevant atoms•s, p, and d orbitals•various interactions•different energies

10

Degree of orbital overlap/mixing depends on: 1) Energy of the orbitals

The closer the energy, the more mixing.

2) Spatial proximityThe atoms must be close enough that there is

reasonable orbital overlap.

3) SymmetryAtomic orbitals mix if they have similar symmetries.

Combining Atomic Orbitals

Strength of the bond depends upon the degree of orbital overlap.

Y = caya + cbyb … cnyn

11

For heteronuclear molecules:

1. The bonding orbital(s) will reside predominantly on the atom of lower orbital energy (the more electronegative atom).

2. The anti-bonding orbital(s) will reside predominantly on the atom with greater orbital energy (the less electronegative atom).

Energy of the Orbitals

How do we determine orbital energies?

12

Energy of Orbitals1) Theoretical calculations

2) Photoelectron spectroscopy

3) Tabulated dataOther peoples UPS/XPS data

13

Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Ionization occurs when matter interacts with light of sufficient energy (Heinrich Hertz, 1886) (Einstein, A. Ann. Phys. Leipzig 1905, 17, 132-148.)

14

Photo-ionization and energy-dispersive analysis of the emitted photoelectrons to study the composition and electronic state of the sample.

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS)

- using soft (200-2000 eV) x-ray excitation to examine core-levels.

Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy(UPS)

- using vacuum UV (10-45 eV) radiation from discharge lamps to examine valence levels.

Symmetry and Orbital Diagrams

J. Chem. Edu. 2004, 81, 997.

1. Number of MOs = number of incipient orbitals. This rule could be

referred to as “the conservation of orbitals.” 2. Orbitals of the same symmetry mix.

3. Orbital interactions can be bonding, nonbonding or antibonding.

4. There are three basic types of orbital overlap: s (end on interaction), p (side by side approach) and d (off-axis approach).

5. Orbitals with the correct symmetry and most similar energy mix to the greatest extent.

H2O Orbital Diagram8. Generate SALCs of peripheral atoms

• Use projection operator to generate SALC.

• Projection operators constitute a method of generating the symmetry allowed combinations.

• Taking one AO and projecting it out using symmetry.

Symmetry adapted linear combination of atomic orbitals (SALC)

Pi is the projection operatorli is the dimension of Gi

h is the order of the groupi is an irreducible representation of the groupR is an operation of the groupχi (R) is the character of R in the ith irreducible representation(R) non-symmetry-adapted basis

57
