Could you help me to answer this question? Explain
Question Description
. Using your knowledge of group theory and MO theory:
a. Draw the ligand group orbitals that contribute to bonding in the hypothetical complex mer-FeCl3(N(CH3)3)3 .
b. Assign symmetry labels to each of the LGOs from part a.
c. Draw an MO diagram for the complex from part a, including the LGOs, Fe AOs, and lines indicating which LGOs and AOs contribute to each MO.
d. Using your MO diagram from part c, predict the effect that reducing mer-FeCl3(N(CH3)3)3 to form the tetrahedral complex FeCl2((NH3)3)2 would have on the MO energies/symmetries (i.e. indicate which MO orbitals would move, and which orbitals they correspond to in the parent complex) .
