* 46. For each of the following molecules, construct the MOs
from the 2p, atomic orbitals perpendicular to the plane of
the carbon atoms.
(a) Cyclobutadiene
HC=CH
НС—СH
|| |
НС—СН
HC=CH
Н—С—С—С—Н
|
Η Η Η
(b) Allyl radical
Indicate which, if any, of these orbitals have identical ener-
gies from symmetry considerations. Show the number of
electrons occupying each MO in the ground state, and
indicate whether either or both of the molecules are para-
magnetic. (Hint: Refer to Figs. 7.15 and 7.16.)
