molecular-orbital (mo) diagram of b2h6. atoms , corresponding orbitals colored same. green mos symbolize bonding, while red symbolize anti-bonding.



the bonding in diborane best described treating each b sp-hybridized. 2 sp-hybrid orbitals on each boron form bonds terminal hydrogens. remaining sp-orbitals create bonds bridging hydrogens. because angles in diborane structure not tetrahedral orbitals contain sp character.

6 showing orbitals responsible forming cluster. pictorial representations of orbitals shown; mo sets of t , e symmetry each have 2 or 1 additional pictorial representation, respectively, not shown here.



the boron atoms lie on each vertex of octahedron , sp hybridized. 1 sp-hybrid radiates away structure forming bond hydrogen atom. other sp-hybrid radiates center of structure forming large bonding molecular orbital @ center of cluster. remaining 2 unhybridized orbitals lie along tangent of sphere structure creating more bonding , antibonding orbitals between boron vertices. orbital diagram breaks down follows:




the 18 framework molecular orbitals, (mos), derived 18 boron atomic orbitals are:

1 bonding mo @ center of cluster , 5 antibonding mos 6 sp-radial hybrid orbitals
6 bonding mos , 6 antibonding mos 12 tangential p-orbitals.




the total skeletal bonding orbitals therefore 7, i.e. n + 1.



main group atom clusters
the bonding in other main group cluster compounds follow similar rules described boron cluster bonding. atoms @ vertex hybridize in way allows lowest energy structure form.


the 18 framework molecular orbitals, (mos), derived 18 boron atomic orbitals are:

1 bonding mo @ center of cluster , 5 antibonding mos 6 sp-radial hybrid orbitals
6 bonding mos , 6 antibonding mos 12 tangential p-orbitals.


the total skeletal bonding orbitals therefore 7, i.e. n + 1.

st. leonard s church shelf containing skulls in ambulatory below chancel, commonly inaccurately described crypt. the large 11th century church hill; tower @ eastern end destroyed earth tremor in 1739 , restored in 1750. chancel, 1220, covers processional ossuary (a bone store, more commonly found on continent) lined 2,000 skulls , 8,000 thigh bones. date medieval period, having been stored after removal, make way new graves. common in england, bones dispersed, , rare collection. several of skulls show marks of trepanning. 1 of 2 surviving ossuaries in england; other in holy trinity church in rothwell, northamptonshire. other curiosities worth looking for. on pillars on south side of nave medieval graffiti depicting ships. vestry door, on north side of nave, unlocked; open see fine norman doorway. has been suggested this, in late medieval times apparently on outer wall of church, once internal wall, earlier norman church stage higher hill. make existing chapel of st edmund (or north tra...
